Earring having magnetically secured displaceable ornament for facilitating telephoning

摘要

An earring construction for use by a wearer which will facilitate phone calling without interference comprises an earring decorative body which has an exterior ornamental side which normally projects outwardly from the ear and an opposite earfacing side which contains a cavity having a magnet therein. An ear-engagement mounting includes a plate portion hinged to the ornament and which is attractable by the magnet in a closed position and which has an opposite earfacing side with means for engaging the earring on the ear. The hinged mounting of the ornament on the ear-engagement mounting permits the ornament to be swung outwardly to the side of the ear so that the ornament does not interfere with the placing of a telephone receiver earpiece close to the user's ear.
