An earring for mounting on a human ear without the necessity for compressive force or piercing of the ear. The earring includes first and second mounting members for mounting the earring on the ear. The mounting members are coupled by a connecting member which defines the shape of the earring and maintains a spacial relationship between the first and second mounting members. When in place, the first mounting member contacts the ear on the back outer portion of the ear while the second mounting member contacts the ear on the inside of the antihelix of the ear. The ends of the mounting members are separated by a distance sufficient to allow placement of the earring on the ear. This spacial relationship between the first and second mounting members can be described by lines extending through each mounting member and intersecting at the origin of an imaginary three dimensional XYZ coordinate system. If the line extending through one of the mounting members lies on the positive X axis of the coordinate system, the line extending through the other mounting member and through the origin of the coordinate system will lie on the surface of a cone having its apex at the origin of the coordinate system and defined by the equation KX=- 2ROOT Y2+Z2+L, where K is in the range 1.00 to 3.73 and where X is less than or equal to zero.
