A product and method are provided for piercing an ear with an ornamental earring using a conventional stud gun. An earring retainer is provided with an interior cavity sized and shaped to conform generally to the outer dimensions of the ornamental portion of a post-type earring so that when the earring is enclosed within the retainer, the retainer will prevent pivoting of the earring relative to the retainer. The retainer has an outer diameter dimensioned to fit snugly in the plunger of a conventional stud gun and prevent the retainer from pivoting or shifting significantly with respect to the plunger or retainer during use. The retainer can also have aphysical feature, such as a notch or ridge, so that it can be releasably mounted on a carrying block and placed in the plunger of the stud gun without the need for a user to touch any portion of the retainer or earring prior to use.
