ABSTRACT:
A tamper proof device is assembled with a pierced earring and clutch wherein it is operative for indicating if the pierced earring and clutch are subsequently disassembled. The tamper proof device includes an outer ring portion, an inner disc portion having a tapered central aperture and a plurality of break-away gates which extend radially outwardly from the disc portion and merge with the ring portion. The clutch is received within the ring portion wherein it is held in position by a plurality of inwardly extending protuberances, and the earring post is received through the tapered aperture and into the clutch. The tapered aperture in the disc portion frictionally engages a groove in the earring post so that when the earring post and clutch are pulled apart, the disc portion breaks away from the ring portion.
