I used to believe that "pierced ears" were called "purest ears." Having holes in earlobes for earrings was something a lady was naturally born with, and somewhat rare, like having naturally curly hair. Grandma often got earrings on her birthday for her "purest ears" and back in the early sixties (greater Seattle area) most earrings were clip-on. Back then pierced ears not as common as they are today. And whoever heard of multiple piercings plus pierced this and that?
