ABSTRACT:
A clutch and post for pierced earrings is operative for retaining an earring on an earlobe of a wearer with increased effectiveness. The clutch comprises a base portion having an aperture therethrough for receiving the post, and a pair of rearwardly and inwardly curled resilient leaves which extend from the base portion and have serrations thereon. The serrations are transversely disposed on the leaves, and they are preferably arranged so that they define longitudinally extending ribs of adjacent serrations on the leaves. This structure strengthens the leaves and enables using a metal thickness up to 30% less than that of a similar clutch without the ribs. The post comprises an elongated substantially cylindrical member having a plurality of substantially circumferential grooves therein and it is receivable through the aperture in the base portion of the clutch and between the resilient leaves thereof so that the serrations of the leaves interengage the grooves to more securely retain the clutch on the post.
