Yes.......but not the shape.
If they have "gritty" deposits on the top of the ear lobes, they may well be well off, hard drinkers (port maybe)...... Epicurean perhaps.....gouty tophi.
Ulcer at the top of the lobe.....lived in the sun..Mediterranean perhaps...sun damage.
The shape associated with character is a load of "b0llocks"

On a semi-serious note, here in the U.S. at least two studies indicate the possibility of heart disease in people with creases on their ear lobes:
"...Possible association between earlobe creases and coronary artery disease first garnered attention almost 2 decades ago when the results of an 8-year, 108-person study by hypertension specialist Dr. William Elliott, proposed a link between distinctive, diagonal creases in human earlobes and heart disease. Dr. Elliott found that individuals with a crease in at least one earlobe were much more likely to die from heart disease than those whose ears were crease-free.
In a follow-up study of 1,000 people admitted to the medical service of a large hospital, Dr. Elliott's results seemed to confirm his earlier studies. Of the 373 people with earlobe creases, 275 (74%) had coronary artery disease, and 98 (26%) did not. Of the 627 people with no earlobe creases, 101 (16%) had coronary artery disease, and 626 (84%) did not."
Further, The reason for any such association between earlobe creases and heart disease is unknown. Interestingly, in Dr. Elliott's larger study, earlobe creases were not linked with other known risk factors of heart disease...Until larger, more definitive studies are available, the presence of a distinctive earlobe crease may indicate the need for closer attention to all possible risk factors for heart disease."
