Where does the Bible mention a "gold earring on the Ethiopian's cheek"

score:2

Accepted answer

Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear,

From Romeo and Juliet.

Perhaps your memory combined this poem with the Bible account of the Ethiopian eunuch.

Even more Ike your memory is a modern English rendering:

Oh, she shows the torches how to burn bright! She stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African.
