  • Patent number: 4218894
    Abstract: An earring specially adapted for pierced ears is disclosed. Apart from the normal ornament, post and retaining clutch provided in such pierced earring constructions, the present construction includes a secondary ornament mounted to be both rotatable with respect to its mounting means and adjustably slidable towards and away from the first ornament so as to be positionable below the wearer's earlobe. Such is accomplished by the provision of a secondary clutch attached to the primary clutch and in which a post portion of the secondary ornament is rotatably and slidably secured. In this fashion, novel and unique ornamentation effects may be provided on the wearer's ear.
