Ear cuffs are a unique piece of jewelry with a long history dating back to ancient India. Many cultures across the world incorporate them into ceremonial and religious dress and everyday wear. They made a comeback into the popular consciousness with the premiere of the sci-fi show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Kira Neris – a Bajoran Starfleet officer, was seen wearing one as a compliment to her fleet uniform. She explained it was a standard symbol of religious status among her people. Fans everywhere started wearing them, adapting them to their own style as well as wearing ones accurate to the ones shown on the show.
