ABSTRACT:
A cushion for securement to a clip of a clip-on earring having a decorative portion including a rear surface a clip secured thereto. The clip comprises a loop which is arranged to engage the rear of a wearer's earlobe while the rear surface of said decorative portion of said earring engages the front of said earlobe to sandwich the earlobe therebetween. The cushion comprises a disk of resilient material, e.g., silicone rubber, having a top wall, a bottom wall, a circular outer side wall having an annular groove extending about its periphery, and a central opening extending through said disk. The cushion is inserted within the loop of the clip so that the loop is disposed within the cushion's annular groove. The top wall of the cushion is convex and the central opening is small to provide a relatively large area to engage the rear surface of the earlobe and thereby spread out the force applied to the earlobe by the clip.
