The earring apparatus forms a post for attachment to an earring to attach an earring to a wearer's ear. The post includes a generally straight first portion of sufficient length to extend through a wearer's earlobe. The post further includes a second portion extending downwardly at an angle to the straight portion and is of sufficient length to touch the wearer's earlobe and prevent the straight portion from slipping out of the earlobe. Preferably, the second portion curves to form a U-shaped loop and ends in a straight third portion. Preferably, the first, second and third portions lie in substantially the same plane which facilitates insertion of the post through the pierced earlobe since the earring post is inserted with a simple up and down motion and does not require twisting. When the post is inserted, the second portion engages the earlobe below the piercing and prevents the post from falling out.
