Well, honey, Romeo compared Juliet to a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear because he was trying to say she stood out like a diamond in the rough. In simpler terms, he was basically saying she was a rare beauty in an unexpected place. So, in Romeo's dramatic love-struck mind, Juliet was a precious gem in a not-so sparkly setting.

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear who said this?

Romeo said this when he saw Juliet for the first time. An Ethiope was an Ethiopian, a person from Ethiopia. Ethiopians were and are dark skinned people, and Romeo compared Juliet to a bright jewel placed next to the cheek of a black-skinned person. In part, he was talking about how fair her skin was. She was extremely pale, and that was quite attractive back then. If she was so pale, she would contrast with the dark night. Also, the jewel against the dark skin would make the skin glow; Juliet's beauty shines out of the night and makes it bright.
