Non-pierced earring, and fitting implement for the same

A non-pierced earring fitting implement for fitting a non-pierced earring on an earlobe the non-pierced earring fitting implement comprising:

• a pair of levers each comprising a front end portion and a rear end portion the pair of levers capable of becoming parallel each other when the front end portions are in a half-open state;
• and
• a rotation shaft for coupling the pair of levers together between the front end portion and the rear end portion so as to cause the front end portions to open or close when the rear end portions close or open,
• wherein the pair of levers have a maximum distance equal to or less than 10 mm between the outer faces of the front end portions when the front end portions are open, and
• wherein the non-pierced earring comprises:
• a coupling unit comprising an elastic wire material and bent so as to maintain a predetermined distance between both ends;
• and
• a pair of ear contact units respectively disposed at both ends of the coupling unit with principal surfaces facing each other, each ear contact unit being wider than the coupling unit.

A method of fitting a non-pierced earring comprising a coupling unit and a pair of ear contact units to an earlobe, the method comprising:

• providing a fitting implement comprising a pair of levers coupled to each other via a rotation shaft so as to cause the front end portions of the pair of levers to open or close when the rear end portions of the pair of levers close or open;
• widening a space between the ear contact units by inserting the front end portions between the inner faces of the pair of ear contact units or between areas adjacent to the pair of ear contact units with the front end portions being in a closed or half-open state and closing the rear end portions with a gripping force;
• and
• decreasing the gripping force to pull the fitting implement out,
• wherein the coupling unit comprises an elastic wire material and bent so as to maintain a predetermined distance between both ends, the ear contact units are respectively disposed at both ends of the coupling unit with principal surfaces facing each other, and each ear contact unit is wider than the coupling unit.
