ABSTRACT:
An earring construction for a pierced ear in which the earring is provided with a gap for receiving the ear lobe. The pin or ear wire which passes through the ear lobe and bridges the gap is provided at one end with a ball. The ball may be integral with the pin or wire. The ball is so mounted in the end of the earring that it allows the pin or ear wire to be swiveled in any direction as in a universal joint. The wearer can then push the pin or wire into the most comfortable position or angle for insertion through the ear lobe. The other end of the earring is provided with a slot at the bottom for receiving the end of the pin or wire. The universal mounting can be incorporated in a small finding consisting of a small socket or round member in which the ball end of the pin is mounted. This provides a ball and joint assembly which can be cast or molded in the end of a cast or molded earring. By embedding the preformed assembly, further assembly operations are eliminated.
