[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there are various types of piercings of this type, and various types have been proposed for mounting methods provided on the piercings. As a typical example, a mounting pin is inserted into a pierced hole drilled in the earlobe, and the pierced earring is attached by inserting and fixing the mounting pin into the insertion hole of a fastening device called a catch from the back side of the earlobe. It has been known.
[0003]
However, since this piercing is separate from the mounting pin and the catch, the mounting operation is performed on the back side of the earlobe by inserting the mounting pin through the insertion hole provided in the catch and fastening it, so the mounting operation is very It was troublesome. Moreover, since the mounting pin and the catch are separate bodies, there is also a risk that the catch that is a fastening tool may be lost. Furthermore, in this earring, since the catch is mounted in a state protruding from the back side of the earlobe, there is a difficulty in the design as an accessory.
