Claims10
A method of protecting decorative, finished, and non-adjustable earrings, comprising the steps of:
- providing a cover having a main body formed by a unitary, one piece member having first and second surfaces positioned on first and second axial ends of the main body, the first surface being configured to cover a side of an earring opposite from a back of the earring, wherein the earring is a decorative, finished, and non-adjustable adornment, the second surface of the main body defining a cavity therein configured to receive a portion of the earring therein, and the second surface comprises a deformable lip disposed about the cavity and configured such that the portion of the earring must be pushed through the second surface by displacing the deformable lip which thereafter secures the earring within the main body by at least one of:
- (1) the deformable lip returning to an original, non-deformed position to at least partially enclose the portion of the earring within the cavity;
- and (2) the deformable lip directly contacting the earring to form a restraint against removal of the earring from the cavity;
- positioning the cover over the earring, the cover being configured such that when the earring is maximally inserted therein the earring is ready to be worn;
- and
- positioning the earring on a user's ear.
