ABSTRACT:
A post to extend through the pierced hole in an ear lobe. One end of the post has a stop that is positioned against one surface of the ear lobe. The opposite end of the post has a small male snap connector portion. A smooth and flat back with a small female snap connector portion therein is snapped on the post against the other surface of the ear lobe to retain the post in the pierced hole, but if the post or the back is pulled, the back automatically releases from the post to prevent injury to the ear lobe. The back has a barrier that prevents the post from passing completely through the back. The stop has and the back may have a connector portion for attaching interchangeable ornaments. When worn with no ornament attached, the earring is essentially nonsnaggy. Interchangeable ornaments are provided with mating connector portions to hold the ornament to the post during normal activity but whenever an ornament is pulled, to automatically release the ornament from the post to prevent injury to the ear lobe. The back's end of the post may be pointed for use with an ear piercing machine to pierce ears.
