ABSTRACT:
A fastener for the stud of an ornament for pierced ears includes a gripping member and a latch. The gripping member has a base portion, an aperture means in the base portion through which a stud can pass, and two resilient arms. The first resilient arm is affixed to the base portion such that it can flex to move toward the stud when the latter is positioned through said aperture, and the second resilient arm is also affixed to the base in opposed relation to the first arm, so that it can flex and move toward the first arm. The arms can contact a stud on opposite sides thereof and squeeze it, and the squeezing force is enhanced and secured by a latch which is pivotally connected to the first arm and is adapted to engage the second arm, in order to draw the two arms toward each other, thus squeezing a stud positioned between them.
