Abstract
A pierced earring having an earring body with an open space between a top end and another end. The top end is elongated to serve as a pin, which is inserted into a hole in the pierced earlobe. The earring body has the pin in a U-shape design for ornamental purposes, while a shaft base is provided on the bottom end. A clasp is held by a shaft in this shaft base and the tip of the clasp is slipped on the U-shape pin to keep it from falling off. Since this pierced earring makes it impossible for the clasp to be opened easily from the pin of the earring body, it provides a pierced earring which, once it is fixed to the earlobe, will be certain to never slip off the hole in the pierced earlobe. Also, a pierced earring is provided in which the clasp can be easily fixed to or released from the earring body.
