What is clip earrings?

Clip earrings are for those who do not have pierced ears. Instead of placing a backing through the hole, there is a bracket on the earring that connects the front and back and it, literally, clips into place. Pretend a clam shell was the earring. The top shell would be in the front, your ear lobe would be in the center and the bottom of the shell would be in the back holding it from falling off. Hope this was helpful...
