The end of the curved wire member opposite the decorative element is secured to the ear by a releasable securing element, which may also be ornamental. The overall design of the earring maintains the decorative element and the securing element in the same plane and in substantial vertical relation. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, an earring enhancement has a decorative element that is held below the bottom of the ear. A curved wire member having a substantially straight portion maintains the position of the decorative element. One end of the curved wire member is configured to slide onto the post of a traditional earring.
