Abstract
An earring which simulates an object piercing the wearer's ear lobe, having a low, wide, U-shaped rear part and spaced front parts. The base of the U-shaped part fits behind the lobe and its sides fit around the sides of the lobe and support the spaced front ornamental parts which represent the two ends of the simulated ear-piercing object. At the center of the base is a pressing part. The earring is made of a single piece of resilient material and may be flexed to fit around and grip the tip of the lobe.
Claims6
Pressure earring, comprising a substantially U-shaped supporting member having two legs and a bottom, each of the legs carrying at a free end thereof an adorning trimming portion, each trimming portion being shaped as a half of a perforating object, said portions together forming a representation of a perforating object, the trimming portions projecting towards each other with mutually confronting ends spaced from each other to form an open space therebetween;
- said bottom, legs and trimming portions being constructed and arranged to pass around the back, sides and part of the front of the ear lap at a location spaced upwardly from the ear lap lower end so that the view of the front of the ear lap at said lower end is obstructed by the earring;
- and pressing means on said bottom of the supporting member, said pressing means being applicable to the back side of an ear lap once the latter has been introduced inside the U-shaped supporting member, the ear lap being adapted to be forced by said pressing means into said open space so that a front part of the ear lap protrudes through said open space whereby the trimming portions give a viewer a feeling that the trimming portions pierce the ear lap;
- said pressure earring being made of one piece only.
