An adaptor enables a pierced earring to be converted into a pin that may be worn on an article of clothing. The adaptor consists of a receptacle having a longitudinal bore which is adapted to receive the earring's post. For conversion, the earring post is bent downwardly and slidably inserted into the bore. A U-shaped flange is secured to the receptacle and extends above the upper edge thereof. The flange has a front portion which includes a notch in its upper edge for receiving the bent-over earring post so that when the post is fully inserted into the receptacle the notch prevents the earring from rotating. The flange further has a rear portion which includes a rearwardly extending pin. The pin is adapted to penetrate an article of clothing.
