poussette belge


Explanation:
"Les puces, autrement appelées clous sont les boucles d'oreilles les plus répandues. Constituées d'un petit motif ornemental visible sur le devant, puis d'une tige traversant l'oreille, elle est fixée de façon invisible derrière l'oreille par un fermoir en forme de papillon, appelé poussette belge, donnant ainsi l'impression de flotter sur le lobe de l'oreille sans fixation."
