ABSTRACT:
An earring is provided having an integrally molded post and ornament base formed from non-hygroscopic, non-allergenic plastic materials. The backing member is similarly formed and frictionally engages the post to retain the earring within the earlobe. The post is seamlessly molded, and ornaments are secured to the ornament base by epoxy. The ornament base is sufficiently enlarged so as to prevent skin contact with the ornament in embodiments where the ornament is not integrally molded with the post and base. In preferred embodiments, the base and posts are injection molded from polypropylene material and the backing member is formed from thermoplastic rubber.
