An earring mounting device for wearing an earring without passing the earring through skin of the ear of a user is provided. The earring mounting device includes an earring interface member and a mount. The earring interface member is operable to releasably couple to an earring, the earring interface member comprising a closed loop, and a mount. The mount includes a mount body, an adhesive, and a coupling member operable to releasable retain the closed loop of the earring interface member. The adhesive is positioned on a back surface of the mount body and is operable to releasably adhere the mount to an ear of a user.

A jewelry item has a ring part pivotally attached to a closure at one end, the closure comprising a ring continuation arm pivotally attached to the ring part, and a bias arm which in turn has a spring part and a lever pivotally attached to each other, the bias arm being rigidly attached to the ring part, so that as the ring part is opened, the lever rotates inwardly, pulling the pivoted end of the spring part, the spring part having a natural shape of smaller circumference than the ring itself so that once a certain extent is reached, the spring part pulls the lever to allow the spring part to attain its smaller diameter and thus establishes a stable open position. On closure of the ring part, the lever pushes the spring part outwardly towards the ring continuation arm to establish a second stable position to close the earring.

A Personal Sound Amplification System is provided in accordance with one embodiment of the invention and includes a Personal Sound Amplification Device (PSAD), a receiving module and an external sound tube, wherein the PSAD includes a power module having a power source. The receiving module includes a receiving module body having a module body top and defining a receiving module body cavity for containing module electronics, wherein the receiving module is configured to removably associate with a decorative jewelry cover. Moreover, the external sound tube may be associated with the module body top of the receiving module.

Disclosed are devices, system and methods for using wearable sensors, such as an earring configured for insertion in an artificially-created cavity in a wearer's ear, the earring including one or more sensing devices in communication with a processing device via a wireless link.

Provided is a non-piercing-type earring having hole pins, which have a predetermined length and are provided on both sides of the side surfaces of partitions of an opening so as to be coupled to holes of a coupling part, having a spring loaded in inner space parts of a first circular member and a second circular member, having a protrusion handle part provided at one side of the upper portion of the first circular member, and having prevention protrusions, which extend from the end of the opening of the first circular member and are caught by prevention protrusion corresponding parts of the second circular member through the hole pins as a hinge point, and the present invention changes, into an integrated type, the structure of a conventional method having allowed each separate earring to be coupled with a pin, and thus reduces production costs and shortens a manufacturing process.

An earring configured for insertion in an artificially-created cavity in a wearer's ear, such ear tissue cavity being bounded by a first hole in the ear tissue and a second hole opposite the first hole. The earring includes an earring post dimensioned to be inserted through at least the first hole of the ear tissue cavity. A first insulating component is associated with the earring post and is configured to at least partially enclose the first hole of the ear tissue cavity. A second insulating component is associated with the earring post and is configured to at least partially enclose the second hole, whereby, the first and second insulating components serve to improve maintenance of the temperature inside the ear tissue cavity by assisting in controlling heat loss from such cavity.

With the Quantified Self movement becoming prevalent, more people are looking to incorporate technology to acquire data regarding aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. blood oxygen levels, body temperature), and/or performance. This self-monitoring concept combines wearable sensors with computing devices to produce an output to improve daily functioning. Disclosed is a device that senses and measures the created cavity temperature (CCT) within an artificial cavity in the wearer's body. This current device provides a wearable thermometer that measures temperature for a convenient, comfortable method of continuously tracking the wearer's temperature.

A jewelry item has a ring part pivotally attached to a closure at one end. The closure spans the continuity of the ring from an end of the ring part and comprises a ring continuation arm extending in continuity of the ring and pivotally attached to and of the ring part at a pivoted connection. The closure further comprises a bias arm extending along with the ring continuation arm along said ring continuity. The bias arm comprises a spring part and a lever part pivotally attached to each other. A connection between said lever part and the ring part is rigid, so that as the ring part is opened, said lever part is configured to rotate inwardly towards an interior of said item. The spring part has a natural shape of smaller circumference than the ring part so that once a certain extent is reached, the spring part pulls the lever part towards the spring part in order to allow the spring part to attain its smaller diameter and thus establish a stable open position. The lever part further on closure of the ring part, is configured to push the spring part outwardly towards the ring continuation arm to establish a second stable position to close the closure. Another jewelry item comprising a spring arm pivoted to said continuation at a first location thereon and further pivoted to its ring part at a second location is disclosed. A method of manufacturing a closure for a jewelry item, a finding for an earring, a kit of parts constructed to form the finding and an earring constructed from the kit of parts and a mounting are also disclosed.
