Abstract: The present invention provides a jewelry holder for a pierced earring. The jewelry holder is generally elongated and is made of a rigid, transparent material. The jewelry holder has a handle portion and a distal tip portion. The distal tip portion has a small hole or bore completely therethrough which a post or hook of a pierced earring may be placed. In use, the post or hook of a pierced earring is inserted in the small hole and the jewelry holder is held by the user (such as a potential purchaser) at the handle portion with one hand. The tip portion with the mounted pierced earring is then held up against the user's earlobe. The user then has a clear, unobscured view of the earring as it will look when actually placed through his or her ear. The invention thus allows the purchaser to “try on” the earrings without the unsanitary side effects of physically placing a new earring in one's ear.
