In the Zhou dynasty, when in the form of jade pendants, the earrings could also be used as decorations to be hanged on guan, a form of Chinese headgear; [12] they were especially used on the mianguan of the Emperor where they became known as chong er ( lit.'ear plugs'). [14] When used on headgear, the chong er were a representation of self-discipline and introspection, both of which were important required characteristics in Chinese culture; the purpose of these jade pendants decorations thus reminded its wearer that he should avoid hearing and listening to anything without careful consideration and avoid slander while simultaneously remind the wearer that he should show humility and listen to good suggestions. [12] [14] These jade pendants gradually spread from the Emperor to officials and scholars, to women who would then hang it to their Chinese hairpins. [12] The er dang attached to hairpins were used by empresses, imperial concubines and princesses during the Han dynasty allowing the er dang to hung down beside their two ears. [13]

Journal of Archaeological Science, Vol. 31, No. 10, pp. 1413–1428, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2004.03.007 Jade’s rarity, especially in the case of jadeite, adds to its overall worth. High-quality jadeite with a rich, even color and exceptional translucency is scarce, making it highly desirable among collectors and connoisseurs. The limited availability of top-grade jade has led to fierce competition in the market, driving up the prices of these pieces as well.As we discussed above, there are two types of jade. Jadeite is rarer and generally is worth more. Treatment Based on archaeological findings, it appears that it was a popular trend for ancient women to only wear a single er dang (especially on the left ear) instead of pairs of earrings. [13] During the Song dynasty that women started to piece their two ears and wore er dang; these earrings could be made with gold and pearls. [12] Wearing earrings among Chinese women then became popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. [12] Michaelson C., Sax M., Wu H. (2016) The renaissance of jade carving in China today.
