Earrings
Earrings often touch adornment that draws notice and the news that travels to the ear — good tidings and interesting work, or, broken, the whisper of low gossip. The dream may ask what fresh word or opportunity is reaching you, whether what's being said around you is fair or mean, and how the small things you display invite others' talk.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for earrings, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see earrings in dreams, omens good news and interesting work is before you. To see them broken, indicates that gossip of a low order will be directed against you.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of purchasing a pair of ear-rings is a good dream to the fair sex; to widows and maids they signify marriage; to those that have no children, that they shall have children; and to those that have husbands and children, purchases and riches; for as women are provided with these deckings, so shall they be stored with husbands, children, and goods.
