Abstract:
1. An earring safety device arranged over an earring of an ear comprising: a front face configured for proximal arrangement to a front of the earring so as to protect the earring from external impacts, a top curved portion of the front face arranged so as to hook around an antitragus or helix of the ear and assist in holding the earring safety device onto the ear, the front face being tapered such that a bottom of the front face is wider than a top of the front face; a back arced portion pivotally coupled to the front portion; right and left flanges extending from the back arced portion towards the front face and configured to restrict movement of an earring backing from lateral motion; and a tension mechanism coupled to the front face and the back arced portion so that the front face and the back arced portion are rotatably pressed towards each other, and are configured to press a portion of the ear between the back arced portion and the front face to decrease movement between the earring safety device, the earring, and the ear.
