ABSTRACT:
An interchangeable and reversible pierced ear protector kit that includes a sleeve which can be inserted into an ear lobe, and separates the ear from an earring post that extends through the sleeve and is fastened by a retainer clip. Between the retainer clip and the ear is a disk that provides a relatively large surface area to distribute the weight and balance the earring on the ear lobe. The disk also protects the ear lobe from the retainer clip. The kit contains a plurality of shields that have different diameters which corresponds to different earring sizes. Larger shields are used for relatively large earrings, while the smaller shields are installed for relatively small earrings. The shields each have an aperture that has a diameter that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the shank. Along an end of the shank are a pair of slits that allow the outer shank wall to deflect when the shield is assembled to the ear. The sleeve deflection provides a spring force which maintains the shield adjacent to the ear.
