EAR-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,755, dated September 5, 1882 Application filed J one 29, 1882.

' be readily secured to the ear and in such a manner that the lower or pendent stones or portion may appear below the lobe of the ear with no apparentconnection,when viewed from thefront, with the upper stone or stud. This is accomplished by means of a curved connecting bar or bars passing up from the lower portion behind the lobe of the ear and secured by the end of the puncture-pin, as will hereinaf ter be more fully described.

The object of my invention to provide an ear-ring which shall combine the single stud or stone with lower or pendent stones or studs, and yet so conceal the connection between them that from the front they may appear entirely independent of each other, thereby making a neat appearance and a desirable o1nament.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 1s a perspective view of my ear-ring.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 1 2, Fig. 3. Fig,

3 is a rear elevation.

Let A represent the puncture-pin, designed to pass through the lobe of the ear. in its front it carries a stud or stone, at, and its rear end is provided with screw-threads. This is a common form of ear ornament, and in ordinary cases is secured by a small not upon the end of the pin.

Let c c 0 represent three studs or stonesisuitably set,and having bars b passing from behind them and curved upwardly, all being united in one above. In this single portion are made screw sockets or apertures d, the backs of which are inclosed by shells cl, as shown.

To secure this device the puncture-pin is first passed through and the upper end of the bars is fitted behind the ear, so that the pin may enter one of the sockets d and be screwed therein. The shells d protect and conceal the (No model.)

- end of the pin. In this position the stones or studs 0 extend from under the lower edge of the lobe of the ear, and the connecting-bars I) pass up behind, and are not seen from the front. This is shown in Fig. 1, the lobe of the car being designated by E, and it will be observed that no connection whatever is apparent between the lower stones, 0, and the upper one, a. In Fig. 3 is shown the reverse side of the lobe of the ear, wherein the connecting-bars may be seen passing up to the pin.

In this manner I can make a very stylish ornament in which'the stones orstudsjust appear from under the ear, and I need no ring or link in full sight, which are ordinarily used to attach such ornaments. front nothing shows but the stones, which thus make a handsome appearance.

It is obvious that I could have but one lower stone and one connecting-bar, or I could have a number ofthem, without changing the invention, which is to make the connecting bar or bars pass up behind the lobe of the ear.

By-inserting the pin in the lower hole, d, the lower studs may be drawn up closer under the ear.

swing by the usual construction of small rings or links, or they may be set rigidly, as shown.

In this device I need no nut for the puncture-pin, the bars 11 serving to secure it.

I am aware that a device has been used connected in front of the lobe of the ear with the pin, and thence passing down. in front, under, and up the back to the nut; but its only object is to secure the nut, and, by showing in front, it presents an awkward appearance.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In an ear ring or ornament, the puncturepin A, having a stud or stone, a, in its front end, in combination with a lower stud or stone, 0, appearing from under the lower edge of the lobe of the ear, and a connecting bar or rod, 1), passing from said lower stone backward and upward behind the lobe of the ear, and connected with the rear end of the puncture-pin, substantially as herein described.
