Abstract: An adaptor enables a pierced earring of the type having an ornament and a metallic post to be converted into a pierced earring assembly having a hypoallergenic plastic post. The adaptor consists of a body having a longitudinal bore which is adapted for receiving the earring's metallic post, and a plastic post extending outwardly from the body. For assembly of the earring and adaptor, the metallic post of the earring is bent downwardly and slidably inserted into the bore. A small notch is provided at the upper edge of the body for receiving a rearwardly extending portion of the metallic post when the downwardly extending portion of the post is fully inserted into the bore. The notch is effective for preventing the earring from rotating when assembled with the adaptor. The plastic post extends rearwardly from the body portion and it is adapted for insertion through the pierced ear lobe of a wearer so that the pierced earring assembly may be worn in a conventional manner.
