Brisur
The brisur is a closed ear hook with a fine joint, with which earrings are attached in the earlobe .
description
The term brisur is derived from the French brisure or briser , which means joint or bend or break or kink . While in the past a small jewelry ring was used to attach it to the ear hole , it is now common to use a number of different types of attachment (brisur) for the ear hanger. In the jewelry industry , it is used to describe a particularly delicate joint that is located on the ear jewelry . The brisur is used to hang and secure the respective earrings. The ear hook or brisur hook has a fine joint, a brisur pin and the brisur patent and brisur jaws. Clip-on or snap-on hooks are probably the most commonly used locking mechanisms for earrings, which is also due to the fact that this type of lock has been known for around 200 years. Since many people rely on metal, e.g. B. Nickel , have an allergic reaction, leverbacks are often made of 925 silver or gold earrings for gold earrings .
Quote
The brisur is mentioned in Elia Barceló's novel The Goldsmith's Secret :
- “Then these earrings came to my mind. ... I decided to go by in the afternoon and look for earrings for Celia, which I might send her in the mail, anonymously, [...] a brisur with a small, hanging pearl ? "
