Ezekiel 16:11-13
11 I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was fine flour, honey and olive oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen.

Males wearing earings goes back many wears ago. It was actually seen as a symbolism of power. It was very common amomg Kings and royalty. If you look up the history of the earing, you will see it's popularity among men dating back thousands of years ago. It wasn't until around the late 60's that it really started to take flight in America among men. The hippy generation made it popular here in America.

Thousands of years. They have traditionally been worn by seamen going back to the times of ancient Greeks and Romans. Shipwreck was always a possibility and your gold earrings provided immediate, very portable funds when you crawled ashore.
