Athar regarding adornment of slave-girls

Are these hadiths authentic? What justifies advertizing a girl to tempt men? why are the slave girls allowed to be adorned and is this wrong since the prophet (saw) said the worst of the women are those that show off their beauty?

> removing the face hairs, creating a space between tooth artificially
> to look beautiful.- Bhukhari
I have some questions under this piercing topic:
- Is it allowed to pierce ear for wearing jewellery? Is it considered as changing the feature created by Allah(subh)?
- If ear piercing allowed, what is the rule for men and ear piercing?
- Did any of the prophet's wives wear earrings?

Who says women dying their hands with henna is (im)permissible?
From Wikipedia: > The name henna also refers to the dye prepared from the plant and the temporary body art (staining) based on those dyes (see also [mehndi][1]). -- [Henna][2], Wikipedia > > Mehndi... is a form of body art from Ancient India, in which decorative designs are created on a person's bod...
From Wikipedia:
> The name henna also refers to the dye prepared from the plant and the temporary body art (staining) based on those dyes (see also mehndi ). -- Henna , Wikipedia
>
> Mehndi... is a form of body art from Ancient India, in which decorative designs are created on a person's body... -- Mehndi , Wikipedia
Some online fatawa say it's recommended:
- Mufti Yaseen Shaikh (MuftiSays ): "It is recommended for women to apply Henna" giving the reason "In view of the above quoted hadith one of the reasons for females applying mehndi is to distinguish her hands from that of a male."
Some online fatawa say it's permissible:
- Qibla.com (sourced from IslamQA.org ): "Yes, a woman can wear hennah, and her wudu will be valid."
- Mufti Ebrahim Desai, Askimam.org : "It is permissible for women to use black henna on their hands and feet."
- Zikr : "The Shariah (Islamic law) allows women to use henna."
While others say it is haram or makruh:
- Qibla.com (sourced from IslamQA.org ): "It seems that a non-married woman wearing henna is not a sunna and it is either makruh or haram. Or so says Anwar Al-Masalik."
- Abu Yahya, Qibla.com (sourced from IslamQA.org ): "Yes, it is offensive (makrooh) for an unmarried woman to wear henna on her hands or feet."
**Question**: Who says women dying their hands with henna is (im)permissible?
Since there's inconsistent scholarly opinion, I'm seeking an overview of the different scholarly thoughts regarding the permissibility of henna depending on sect/school of thought. (...if possible, if not an answer explaining why this is impossible [or prohibitively difficult] would be fine).

Can women wear golden chains?
I know that men should not wear golden materials. Few days before, I had heard that ladies also should not wear golden chains. Please clarify my doubts with proof.
