Silver Earrings for Men

Wearing studs or earrings is quite normal for men today. However, ear jewellery is not welcome in all industries. The strict dress codes in some industries speak against adorned ears.

In the police or other federal agencies, earrings may be considered inappropriate official attire for a man. In some industries, they could create accident hazards. In these cases, ear jewellery is reserved for casual wear.

The history of ear jewellery

Men wearing ear jewellery is not a new phenomenon, at least in our latitudes. Among the population, earrings or other ear jewellery were traditionally reserved for women. Among buccaneers, however, earrings were commonplace jewellery. According to legend, they were supposed to cover funeral expenses.

At best, earrings were worn by men of the nobility. At least that is what paintings suggest. The French Revolution made the men's earring a sign of revolutionary sentiments. It is thanks to this influence that various estates also introduced ear jewellery for men in Germany. Around 1830, many men wore ear jewellery, including the Bavarian king, Maximilian I Joseph. At that time, it was believed that the earrings would ward off illness.

After this fashion had ended, only sailors, fishermen and raftsmen as well as showmen and circus people wore earrings. Ear jewellery could also be seen among craftsmen on the road. Whether these were silver earrings or gold ear jewellery varied. Silver earrings were probably more common.

Golden earrings or creoles go back to ethnic influences. Even the term "creoles" indicates that the ear jewellery favoured by building craftsmen to this day can originally be traced back to Spanish, African or Arabic influences.

Ear jewellery for men today

The MUAU Jewellery department, which is dedicated to silver earrings for men, makes it clear: nowadays, ear jewellery is very popular among young men. At the latest since the seventies of the last century, it has become increasingly popular. At the same time, body jewellery has become more important overall. But not every sector is proving to be equally receptive to male ear jewellery.

Earrings for men are available in silver, yellow gold, red gold or other metals. Precious metals such as silver and gold are recommended. They impress with their high-quality materials. They are also proven to be anti-allergic. MUAU jewellery is always made of 925 silver. Our simple hinged creoles can be put on or taken off quickly when needed. This is recommended for sports or activities that could result in the loss of ear jewellery.

Our silver earrings could also lose their shine through contact with chlorinated water. Precious metals should be handled with care. They represent a high material value. In addition, they often have an ideal value as a gift. Their beauty should therefore be preserved without loss of value. Proper care will keep the ear jewellery in good condition for a lifetime.

Over time, dust particles, shampoo residues or sebum can accumulate on hinged creoles. These can be easily removed with a cotton swab and a little soapy water.

Silver earrings - an elegant yet everyday accessory

Silver earrings are a discreet but valuable adornment for men. Silver creoles are not as eye-catching as larger gold earrings or jewellery with cubic zirconia stones.

Silver earrings look particularly good with a short haircut. Whether a man wears his earring only on one side or as a pair varies. Many men prefer to wear only single earrings. Some combine them with one or more stud earrings. With longer hair, the earrings are usually concealed.

In some social classes, men's earrings are said to contain statements about their sexual preferences. This may have been true at one time. Today, however, it does not matter whether a man wears his silver hoop earring on his right or left ear. The earring therefore allows no other statement than that the man loves ear jewellery. Silver MUAU jewellery adorns a man at any age. But it is mostly younger men who put on ear jewellery.

Which silver earrings suit which type of man?

Young and unconventional Swiss people are usually the wearers of MUAU jewellery. Many people from the alternative scene do not do without decorative accessories in their ears. Therefore, silver earrings are often found on media people, copywriters, artists or freelancers. Among craftsmen, men who wear silver ear jewellery can also be found. In these industries, male ear jewellery is accepted.

However, those who want to make a career as a manager in Switzerland usually refrain from flaunting silver earrings. In some industries, discreet stud earrings may be an accepted choice. Those who opt for a silver hoop earring are usually not enthusiastic about gold jewellery. Precious metals such as platinum or stainless steel would be more of an alternative. Both would harmonise with existing silver jewellery.

The main reason for the preference of a certain precious metal is usually personal taste. The presence of silver tie pins, wristwatches or spectacle frames can also advocate a tendency towards silver ear jewellery. In addition, the price of silver is slightly cheaper than that of gold. Buying a single creole is possible in principle.

However, buying two creoles protects against the loss of the beloved ear jewellery. If one is lost while travelling, an adequate replacement earring is immediately available at home.
