The passage lies between the first stop and the first protruding part, and the second pressing element is provided with a second stop for the post and with a second protruding part which protrudes from the housing. The passage lies between the second stop and the second protruding part, and at least one spring is provided for spring-mounting the first and second pressing element.

A system for retaining an earring with in a gauge hole of an ear. The system is configured with a sleeve defining a resilient passageway. A post of a pierced earring is releasably secured within the resilient passageway and the sleeve is releasably secured with in the gauge hole of an ear. The system may be used to allow prior art ear gauges to retain pierced earrings within a gauge hole of an ear.

An earring comprises an ornamental structure and a flexible post attached to the ornamental structure; the flexible post can comprise an elastic material capable of returning to its original shape and form after being compressed and/or deformed. A flexible earring back can be provided that has a flexible post-engagement opening comprising a flexible material; the flexible material comprising an elastic material capable of returning to its original shape and form after being compressed and/or deformed. An earring comprises an ornamental structure and a post attached to the ornamental structure, wherein the post can include a breakaway structure proximal to a connection between the ornamental structure and the post to allow the ornamental structure and post to separate in response to an external force. The post can be rigid or flexible.

A clasp for a jewelry item comprising: a base body (100) comprising a horizontal base (101) perforated at the centre of same by an opening (102) intended to receive a notched rod (1), said base body (100) comprising a vertical guide cylinder (102) and first (110) and second (120) support arms, in which the first support arm comprises, in the lower part of same, a first bore (111) intended to receive a horizontal assembly and articulation pin (800), in which the second support arm (120) comprises, in the lower part of same, a second bore (121) intended to receive said assembly and articulation pin (800); a first jaw (200) comprising a first tab (210) provided with a third bore (211) and a second tab (220) provided with a fourth bore (221), said third and fourth bores being configured to become aligned with said first and second bores (111, 121); a second jaw (300) comprising a first tab (310) provided with a fifth bore (311) and a second tab (320) provided with a sixth bore (321), said fifth (311) and sixth (321) bores being configured to become aligned with said first and second bores (111, 121); in which the edges of said first and second jaws (200; 300) have a slightly convex profile configured to cooperate with the edges of said support arms (110, 120) in order to allow slight rotation about the alignment axis of the bores with the aim of implementing a locking mechanism of a notched rod.
