As shown in FIG. 1, the earring 10 according to the present embodiment is arranged on the back of the earlobe, the earlobe receiving portion 2 whose one surface abuts on the front side of the earlobe when the user wears the earlobe, and the earlobe receiving portion 2. And an earlobe pinching part 3 for pinching the earlobe.

  The earlobe receiving portion 2 is formed in a disk shape, and a decoration member 4 for decorating the earlobe is attached to the other surface. The decorative member 4 may be formed of any shape and material, but in this example, the decorative member 4 is formed by connecting a plurality of spherical or disc-shaped metal particles.

  The earlobe clamping part 3 has an arm part 32 formed so as to be rotatable about a base shaft 31. The arm portion 32 incorporates a flexible leaf spring made of phosphor bronze as an urging member, and is urged in a direction to sandwich the earlobe. The earring 10 is attached to the earlobe by sandwiching both side surfaces of the earlobe between the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the earlobe clamping portion 3.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, when the earring 10 is attached to the earlobe, if the arm portion 32 is rotated about the base shaft 31 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the earlobe is sandwiched, the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the earlobe are sandwiched. A sufficient interval between the parts 3 is ensured. When a certain force is applied so that the arm 32 is rotated in the direction of pinching the earlobe while the earlobe is placed between the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the earlobe clamping portion 3, the force is automatically applied by the elasticity of the leaf spring. It turns to the direction which added, and the earlobe is pinched.

  A circular through hole 34 is formed at the tip of the arm portion 32. A bar-shaped member 33 having an ear pad 331 that contacts an earlobe at one end and a knob 332 for pinching with a finger at the other end is inserted into the through hole 34. The rod-shaped member 33 is slidably inserted into the through hole 32. By sliding the rod-shaped member 33 in the through hole 32, the distance between the one surface of the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the ear pad 331 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the user's earlobe. When the earring 10 is attached to the earlobe, the earlobe contacts one surface of the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the ear pad 331.

  A spring 35 is attached to the rod-shaped member 33 between the ear pad 331 and the through hole 34. The ear lobe sandwiched between one surface of the earlobe receiving portion 2 and the ear pad 331 is fixed by the spring 35.
