ABSTRACT:
A convertible earring comprising a rigid earring body having a surface on one side and an ear attachment on the other side, with the surface having a raised portion and an adjacent decorated portion. When the earring body is attached to one ear by the ear attachment, the raised portion hides the adjacent decorated portion behind the raised portion when viewed from the front of the ear. But when the earring body is attached to the other ear, the adjacent decorated portion is visible in front of the raised portion when viewed from the front of the other ear. Thus a pair of such earrings is convertible to a more decorated pair of earrings by simply switching each earring from one ear to the other. The raised portion may be a step, an outwardly curved surface or a wall. Or the surface of the earring body may have a decorated raised portion and an adjacent but hidden differently decorated portion so the earring is convertible to a differently decorated earring by switching the earring from one ear to the other. The decorated portion can comprise any distinguishing area such as a plurality of gemstones, enamel or leather work or a patterned, textured or colored surface, or different colored metals such as gold and silver.
