Whoever said diamonds are women’s best friends, surely did not consider the large sums that confident millennial men spend on them. Men are equally important buyers of all kinds of gold and diamond jewellery, some for the women in their life and some for themselves. Among what guys buy for the most, Men’s Gold Earrings stand out. That’s because ear studs for men are one of the most common jewellery worn by men, along with men’s gold rings and men’s pendants. However men’s jewellery as a category has expanded a lot in recent times, and all kinds of men’s jewellery and accessories find takers. Some of the categories like – Men’s Gold Cufflinks, Men’s Gold Rakhis, Men’s Bracelets and Men’s Gold Brooches are already quite popular.

Since you are here for Men’s Gold Earrings, let’s jump right back into the topic of discussion for this blog post. Here are the top questions we get from guys and girls about men’s earrings –

  1. What is correct – Men’s Earrings or Men’s Earring?

Either can be true because unlike women’s earrings, men can either wear the earring on one ear or both. When they wear it on one, it’s called Men’s Earring and when they do it on both, naturally it’s called Men’s Earrings. Most retailers, like KuberBox, sell them in pieces and not pairs to not confuse their customers regarding which items are available in pairs and which are available in pieces. Anyone who wants to wear on both ears, can simply place their orders for 2 pieces of the earring.

  1. Which Ear Do Men Wear Earring On?

If you have heard this before – that men should choose the piercing side based on their sexual orientation, you must know we’d be foolish to believe that it holds true today in this age. It’s the 21st century and here people are known for their individualistic choice and not what society decides for them. Earlier men who wore earrings on right ear were considered straight which the others were considered gay. Today when a man wears earring on any ear, that is because he likes the look of earring on that ear. The placement does not signify his sexual orientation.
