Earrings are one of the oldest forms of jewelry. Otzi the Iceman's body was found in the Alps in 1991. His 5,000 year old naturally mummified body had pierced ears. Sailors wore earrings to commemorate journeys across the equator, to ward off misfortune, and to pay for their funeral in case their body washed ashore. What do earrings mean to you? Design and make three different pairs of earrings with your unique ideas inspired by ones that came before! Students may bring their own supplies, or buy a $25 jewelry kit.
