Hi. I’ve done a lot of research on the net and the few books I can find, but they’re are still a few Roma traditions I have questions about: ie: is it true that male Roma have both ears pierced at birth and where earring in both until they are married, at which time they give the left earring to their wife?

If you can help with Roma traditions, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

I can help with Roma tomatoes... :)

Google Gypsies or Romani for better references. And traditions changed over time as they were persecuted and'/or they absorbed other cultural norms.

Not all Roma are the same.
they have different tradition at different places and it changes over time.
It could be that some Roma have or had that tradition.
