ABSTRACT:
The bendable loop earring includes a generally U-shaped, preferably cylindrical bendable pin having a central shaft and two opposite integral opposite ends with a pair of curved beads connected thereto, one per pin end at the pin ends. The beads can be releasably connected to the shaft, or one or both can be permanently secured thereto. The curved surfaces of the beads closely face each other for releasably point-gripping an earlobe. An ornament can be slidably received on the shaft and free to move thereon, but prevented by the beads from the separating from the earring. In one embodiment the pin has an expanded head against which a first bead abuts and is sealed in place by epoxy or other bonding material. The opposite end of the pin is threaded and the second bead is releasably threaded thereto. The method of the present invention effects the formation of that earring. In that regard, the beaded pin is initially straight with its threaded end held vertically down and up over which is slipped the first bead. The pin shaft adjacent the head is coated with liquid bonding agent, after which the pin is driven vertically down through a horizontal pad of styrofoam or the like until the first bead is seated over the bonding material against the head until the bonding material sets to permanently hold that bead in place.
