Abstract
An ear clip is disclosed that includes a jaw hinged to a base member to which an ornament may be affixed. The jaw is provided with a spring tongue that engages the base member and normally urges the jaw in one direction. The end of the spring tongue is provided with a plurality of notches and the end portion is bent from a plane of the jaw at an obtuse angle to insure positive engagement of the base member with the notches. Additional depressions on the inner face of mounting or pivot ears may be provided for additional positive adjustable engagement.
