Judges 8:24-25

24Gideon also said, ‘I will ask you only to do one thing for me. Each of you should give me one ear-ring from the things that you took from our enemies.’ (The Midianites wore gold ear-rings because they were descendants of Ishmael.)

25The people replied, ‘We are happy to give them to you.’ So they put a coat on the ground. Each man threw a ring onto it.
