Jewelry – Why Girls Must Have Jewelry
For almost as long as there has been any evidence of mankind, there has been evidence that he has been adorning himself with jewelry of one fashion or another. Whether to establish position or possession, jewelry has long been as functional as it is aesthetically appealing. Even today, in its various forms and degrees of flashiness, jewelry is one of the surest ways to make a statement about yourself wordlessly. A ring, worn on the ring finger of the left hand? You must be married. A small piercing through your lip? You must be punk or hardcore. A cross, worn round your neck? You are obviously a Christian. The jewelry we choose to wear tells the world little snippets about us.

For many centuries, jewelry has also been considered to be the currency of romance. Whether it is given in the form of an apology, a promise or just a term of endearment, women have been enjoying gold and silver presents from their suitors for ages. One of the very pinnacles of life for many young women is the day that they receive their engagement ring, and in fact, upon announcing that they have been proposed to, one of the very first questions that pops out of anyone's mouth is "Can I see the ring?" Given this history, it is no great wonder that girls have grown to love their diamonds!
Our society's obsession with adorning our females with jewelry is not isolated to just betrothal though. In many modern cultures it is normal, customary and expected that female infants will have their ears pierced before they are even discharged from the hospital. No more than a few hours old, baby girls are already sporting their first jewelry! Now whether it is to help curious souls recognize that they are looking at a little girl or to just decorate an already beautiful child further is anybody's guess, but what is clear is that the love of jewelry is instilled in girls from the earliest age.
No matter where you stand on the great ear piercing debate, the odds are pretty good that, right now, right this very second, you are wearing some piece of jewelry. Male or female, young or old there is likely a ring on your finger, a chain around your neck, a stud in your ear or a watch on your wrist. Functional or decorative, gold, silver, leather, hemp or plastic, everyone is wearing some small piece.
