Great Gift for any woman or man -handy dandy Earring Converter- Clip/screw to Pierced

This is the most amazing item.

A Woman I know through the Ebay Boards invented this last year.

And it’s Great !

My earring Buddy.

My earring Buddy.

From the Website

If you love your vintage clip and screwback earrings
but can’t take one more minute of …the Ouch!  Pinch!  Pain!
you need…”

You can now quickly and easily convert clip earrings and convert screwback earrings into pierced earrings  within seconds.   This is a revolutionary earring converter that uses powerful Neodymium magnets to do what, until now, has seemed like the impossible.

This product was three years in the making. I was desperate to find something that would let me wear my beautiful vintage clip and screwback earrings with comfort.

I tried everything with minimal success…until…one day I had a light bulb go off in my head and voila!
My Earring Buddy
® was born.

I made a few prototypes and began testing it with friends who also wear clip and screwback earrings.  They were amazed, delighted and most of all ECSTATIC with how well it worked.

And believe me they put my invention through the test.  They jumped, ran, shook their heads like crazy trying to make their earrings fall off.  But they  worked like a champ.  It stayed put. Their earrings did not fall off. “

So, now there is no excuse, not wear those  lovely  earrings that are in your jewelery box ( or in my store, hint, hint).

Great gift idea for any occasion.
