Abstract

A clip for an earring or the like comprising separate jaw members pivotally attached for movement towards and away from each other. A first jaw member includes an ornamental portion and is provided with contact means adapted to contact outer portions of the wearer's earlobe. A second jaw is provided with a generally C-shaped loop having base, root and terminal segments. A pair of spaced smooth bore openings are respectively provided through the root and terminal segments for receipt of a screw provided at one end thereof with contact means adapted to cooperate with the contact means of the first jaw member and for engaging the opposite side of the earlobe, and at the other end, with means for manually rotating said screw for movement relative to the first jaw. The terminal segment of the loop is angularly disposed with regard to the screw so that as the screw passes through the opening therein, the front top edge and the bottom rear edges of said opening make threaded engagement with the screw.
