Abstract:
1. A support device for an earring adapted to encircle a wearer's ear and is connected to said earring on both sides of a wearer's ear lobe when in use, transferring said earring's weight from said ear lobe to a ridge formed by said wearer's ear and a side of said wearer's head, comprising a continuous length of flexible material having a single large closed nonadjustable loop at one end and two or more small closed nonadjustable loops at the other end, a. said large closed nonadjustable loop being formed when one bitter end of said flexible material is folded back upon itself and secured to said flexible material by means of a clamping device sheathed around said flexible material and said bitter end, b. said two or more small closed nonadjustable loops being formed when an opposite bitter end of said flexible material is folded back upon itself and secured to said flexible material by means of two or more clamping devices sheathed around said flexible material and said opposite bitter end so as to bind opposing interior sides of said opposite bitter end and said flexible material, c. said clamping device being a cylindrical metallic tube with an inside diameter slightly greater than twice the diameter of said flexible material and thin enough to collapse against said flexible material and said bitter ends so as to secure said bitter end against said flexible material when said clamping device is squeezed with a crimping tool, needle-nose pliers, stylus, or other such similar device.
