Abstract
A jewelry clip is disclosed which includes a base having spaced-apart first and second openings and an arcuate retaining wire having first and second ends connected by a curved portion. The ends of the wire are received and held in the respective openings of the base to permit the wire to be rotatable on the base. The retaining wire has a rotational position of maximum stored energy and positions of lesser stored energy. In operation, the retaining wire will tend to rotate away from the position of maximum stored energy to a position of lesser stored energy to provide a pressure against an item of jewelry to which the base is attached.
