I am totally mad about butterflies.
I have photos of them on the walls in our house, my books all have them for book marks and also we actually have got a pair of them mounted on the back of my property exterior so that it will seem nicer. When we got married butterflies were our main wedding theme. Needless to say for this reason, when I visit a jewelry store, the first areas that I look for there are butterfly earrings.
I started thinking about the history of them last time I went out looking for earrings. I found a few interesting facts on Wikipedia that I will be able to share with the girl behind the counter next time.I will tell the girl behind the counter a few interesting things I discovered on Wikipedia the next time I see her. The idea of ear piercing and adding some type of band as a way to adorn your body has been around since the beginning of civilisation itself. Soldiers used to use them to show some personal achievement in battle and they were originally worn by the men

The remains of images of ancient soldiers from Persia on the walls in the palace at Persepolis are still there today. They are also mentioned in the bible when Moses is on the mountain and Aaron asks the rebelling Israelites to deliver him their earrings so that he can build a statue of a god on their behalf.
The primary thing that has to be decided the first time that you want to buy a pair of earrings is whether you wish to get pierced ears.
If you make up your mind that you do not, you can always get them done later on but if you have them pierced today, they will be that way for the rest of your life. The three most fashionable designs of earrings for pierced ears are: -
- stud earrings – these are commonly small and are kept in place by way of a bar through your ear and a fastener on the rear.
- hoop earrings – possibly these are what gave the earring its name in the beginning because they look much like a ring.
They can be either semi-circular or circiular in design and they are generally attached by sliding one end into a little tube at the opposite end. They can be as large or small as you require.
- dangle earrings – these are the ones that hang down from your ear and you can find them very short or reach right down to your shoulders.
Obviously, you will not be limited to just having one kind at a time and in the present day people frequently put on many together.

The next time that I go out to get my butterfly earrings I will make certain that I tell them all this fresh info I know. But they probably understand it already on their own.
