  • Patent number: 6032486
    Abstract: A novel pierced-ear earring comprises a toggle having inner and outer sides and an earpost attached to the inner side. A perforation passes through two other sides of the toggle, and an upper portion of a loop is positioned within the perforation. A pendant having first and second faces comprising non-identical ornaments is attached to a lower portion of the loop. The loop and pendant are rotatable through 180 degrees about the axis of the perforation and, together with the toggle and earpost, are rotatable through 180 degrees about the axis of the earpost. A novel method of reversing the novel earring comprises rotating the entire earring about the axis of the earpost and simultaneously rotating the loop and pendant about the axis of the toggle perforation.
