Benefits of technology

[0015]In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of earring post assemblies now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new device for earring attachment wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user by providing a secure earring structure that prevents the loss of parts of earrings.

Problems solved by technology

These prior art have several known drawbacks and fail to address the fundamental issues of the present invention, namely a single piece, minimal, comfortable earring attachment assembly.
While the Biagi invention allows for a custom fit earring securement, it fails to address the need for an integrated, single-piece earring post fastener.
The Cheng invention, like the Kent and Biagi inventions, requires multiple pieces, leading to a potential for lost or missing parts.
In particular, the prior art does not disclose a unitary earring structure that provides secure fitment of an earring that eliminate the risk of lost or missing earring parts.
