<p>A retainer, for supporting a decorative article such as an ear-ring, a brooch or a lapel badge on the person, has a pin member (2) and a fastening device (l) separably connectable thereto. The fastening device includes an elongate tubular housing (3) with apertures (6) through which the pin member can pass with clearance. A hairpin-shaped (5) spring clip is disposed within said housing and abuts opposed side walls of the housing and grips the pin member passing through the apertures thereby frictionally holding the pin member releasably in the housing. </p> |
