Abstract (en)

Provided are a pierced earring body 3; and a needle section 2, whose base end portion is mounted to the pierced earring body 3 pivotably sideways. The free end portion of the needle section 2, after it is inserted into a hole in an earlobe, is fixed to a fixing section 4 of the pierced earring body 3 from a side direction in a demountable manner, wherein the pierced earring body 3 is sustained with the needle section in a hanging state from the earlobe. The fixing section 4 comprises: an entrance section 7 through which the free end portion of the needle section is moved into the fixing section in a pivotal movement thereof in a lateral plane; an exit control section 6 that gives a resistance to moving-out sideways of the fee end portion of the needle section 2 after moving-in of the free end portion; and a movement blocking section 5 that blocks upward movement of the needle section 2. While the needle section 2 upwardly sustains the weight of the pierced earring body 3, moving-out of the needle section 2 in that direction is avoided by the movement blocking section 5 with sureness, thereby enabling unexpected falling of the pierced earring and in turn missing thereof to be prevented from occurring. <IMAGE>
