ABSTRACT:
A device adapted to be worn on the ear includes a first portion for securely engaging a lower portion of the ear, a second portion for suspending an item of ornamentation adjacent to an upper portion of the ear and an intermediate portion interconnecting the first and second portions. The item of ornamentation is preferably attached to the second portion in an interchangeable manner. In one form, the first portion of the device is integrally formed with the intermediate portion and effectively constitutes a reduced diameter portion. In a preferred form, the intermediate portion is constructed from a continuous length of wire and the second portion comprises a reduced diameter end of the wire. The reduced diameter portion of the wire engages a conventionally formed aperture in the lobe from the ear from the front of the ear and engages a generally conventional ear nut positioned immediately behind the ear. The intermediate portion of the device wraps around the rear side of the ear and is substantially hidden during use.
