Abstract
An earring structure for use with both pierced and non-pierced ears including a generally U-shaped main body member at one end of which is rotatably attached a pivotal post and at the other end of which is rotatably attached a pressure member. The pivotal post can assume a position which merely extends the one end of the main body member when the earring is being used with a non-pierced earlobe. Both of the pressure member and the one end of the main body member define opposed relatively flat surfaces which hold the earlobe therebetween for non-pierced use and the pressure member defines an aperture for receiving the pivotal post for pierced use of the structure. The pivotal post is rotatable to a position perpendicular to the planar surfaces for pierced use.
