An earring is an ornament that hangs from one's earlobe.
We often see earrings used as fashion accessories. People wear them to make themselves look good or to follow the latest trends. Sometimes earrings are given as gifts, and they hold sentimental value if someone close has given it to you. We also use the word earring to describe a single ornament that hangs from one's earlobe - you can say "earring" instead of "earrings".
A piece of jewelry worn on the ear.
