Editing Earring (section)

====Claw earrings====
The '''claw''', '''talon'''  or '''pincher''' is essentially a curved taper which is worn in stretched [[ear lobe]] [[piercings]]. The thickest end is generally flared and may be decorated, and a rubber [[o-ring]] may also be used to prevent the talon from becoming dislodged when worn. Common materials include [[Polymethyl methacrylate|acrylic]] and [[glass]]. A similar item of [[Jewellery|jewelry]] is the [[crescent]], or pincher, which as the name suggests, is shaped like a crescent moon and is tapered at both ends. Talons and claws may also be quite ornamental (e.g.: carved in the form of a serpent or dragon). Consequently, they may prove to be an impractical choice of jewelry as they may snag on hair, clothing, etc.
