Interlacing is found in many different cultures, though not to the same extent and was originally borrowed by the Celts from the Vikings. When the Celts borrowed an idea from another tradition they always added their own unique character and made it their own. It can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where, in the long form, it was a stylization of running water. In a circle it could indicate a well.

Ear wires are made of Niobium. Niobium (Nb) is a soft grey ductile metallic element, also known as columbium that can be coloured with currents of electricity. Along with titanium, tantalum, zirconium, pure refined gold, and platinum it is one of the six most bio-compatible elements.

Even people with severe metal allergies can usually wear niobium.
