Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0864265A1] The invention relates to a locking means for an ear jewel to be inserted into a pierced ear. The ear jewel comprises an ornamental element (10) to be positioned on the outside of the ear and a locking element joint to the ornamental element. The locking element (20) comprises a straight first segment (23) for passing through the ear, which first segment is joint to the ornamental element at a substantially right angle, and a substantially 90 DEG -bent segment (21) joint to the first segment, and a substantially straight tubular segment joint to the bent segment and a movable securing element (30) running through the tubular segment. The securing element (30) comprises adjoining wires (31) which under the influence of a pre-tension deflect away from each other. The wire elements are fashioned from different wire pieces which, at least at a first end, form an angle and are joint to a first coupling element (32). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
