Rebekah Got a Nose Ring?
Abraham's servant brings jewelry, on Abe's behalf, to the future bride of his son:
New American Bible:
Genesis 24
The man watched her the whole time, silently waiting to learn whether or not the LORD had made his errand successful. 22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold ring weighing half a shekel, which he fastened on her nose, and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels, which he put on her wrists. 23 Then he asked her: "Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please. And is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night?" 24 She answered: "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. 25 There is plenty of straw and fodder at our place," she added, "and room to spend the night." 26 The man then bowed down in worship to the LORD, 27 saying: "Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not let his constant kindness toward my master fail. As for myself also, the LORD has led me straight to the house of my master's brother."
Interestingly the KJV translates the Hebrew word nexem simply as ring ... when indeed it is a nose ring?:
nexem (neh'-zem) a) a nose ring [woman's ornament]; b) an earring [ornament of men or women] (5141)
What sayest thou? Rebekah got a nose ring from father Abraham?

22 Y cuando los camellos acabaron de beber, le dio el hombre un pendiente de oro que pesaba medio siclo, y dos brazaletes que pesaban diez,

Do they take the ring out when they have a cold? 
I saw this guy with the weirdest ear lobes? He said that he has to take the disk earrings out because it's against his work dress code. I'm thinking, "Dude, your hanging ear lobes are just really sick looking. What is in your mind?"
I guess he could rub them when he gets nervous or something.
