In the early 20th century, a solution was found in the invention of clip on earrings. This new invention allowed anyone to wear earrings without the “disgrace” of piercing holes in their ears. Crystal clip on earrings that resembled chandeliers became a defining feature of the Victorian. The sophisticated members of society could embellish their bodies without fear of scandal, and the faint of heart could engage in the same pleasures of those brave enough to undergo the piercing. Because of the invention of clip on earrings, traditional pierced earrings started to fade out of the picture. Clip on earrings could accommodate everyone, while pierced earrings only could be worn by those with pierced ears. In turn, clip ons were in every jewellery store, in every style, and for every occasion. The flappers of the 1920’s were notorious for ornamenting themselves with this new fad, often with drop clip on earrings that were not quite as glamorous as the crystal drop earrings favoured by the Victorians, but still sparkled and shone with the best of them. Diamante clip on earrings also stole the stage in the late 20’s and early 30’s. With simpler geometrical shapes.
