Abstract
Apparatus and method for expediting the carding of jewelry items comprising piercing posts and clutches, such as pierced earrings and the like, particularly where a plurality of pairs of earrings are mounted on a single card. The clutches are vibrated into apertures in a plate member in proper orientation to receive the posts, with the alignment of said apertures registering with openings in the card, whereby when the card is properly positioned on the plate and the posts inserted through the card openings, the posts will frictionally engage the clutches.
