Abstract: An earring comprising an upper member for attachment to a pierced ear, and a lower member for removable suspension from the upper member. The lower member is supported by a post on the upper member. In one embodiment, the upper member has an upper post for insertion in a pierced ear, a lower post extending beneath the upper post for supporting the lower member, and a clasp mounted beneath the lower post. The lower member has an opening therein for receiving the lower post. The clasp and lower member preferably cooperate such that the clasp is biased against the lower post when in closed position so as to secure the lower member on the lower post, whereby the lower post also acts as a stop for the clasp to limit pressure on the wearer's earlobe. In a second embodiment, only a single post is provided and the earring is supported on the wearer's ear by a conventional spring-loaded clasp.
