Significance of wearing earrings in human society also evolves and changes with different geographical regions and different time periods.
A sailor who has sailed three years on the coast of China wore a gold ring in his left ear to prove that he has been there and done that. Among pirates the value of his earring was meant to pay for his burial if he were lost at sea and his body washed ashore.

In our American society too, significance of men wearing earrings has evolved with time. In the early 21st century, a man’s choice of wearing an earring on either ear was a personal choice, regardless of sexuality. During the 1980s and early 1990s, a pierced right ear was associated with male homosexuality, while the left ear indicated heterosexuality.
During this time it could also mean that a pierced left ear indicated a sexually dominant gay. Pierced right ear on the other hand pointed to a sexually submissive gay man.

According to Jon-Jon Goulian in his memoir, “The Man in the Gray Flannel Skirt,” men who wore earrings in their left ears were advertising not only their heterosexuality, but their liberal conscience.
Nowadays, the idea of wearing earrings to signal sexuality has become completely obsolete. It is common to find heterosexual men wearing earrings in both ears at once, as well as either their left or right alone.

It has become a norm rather than an exception in the men fashion world for men to wear earrings. Occasionally more than one earring is worn on each ear. Most popular designs in male earrings are the Stud and the Hoop earrings. And the diamond stud is among the most sought after styles.
Stud earrings appear to be hanging on the ear or earlobe without a visible connection. This is because they are invariably crafted on the end of a post. This post pierces straight through the ear.

Hoop earrings are circular or semi-circular in design and look quite similar to a ring. They are made of metal tubing, with a thin wire attachment penetrating the ear. The hollow tubing is attached to a very thin wire at the front of the ear, and slides in and out of the tube at the back. A different type of hoop design does not complete the full circle, but a thin post attached to the semi circle penetrates through the ear in a manner similar to the stud earrings.
