Guide to Stud Earrings: From Push Pins to Screw Ball Ends

Guide to Stud Earrings: From Push Pins to Screw Ball Ends - Shemisli Jewels

Stud earrings have been a staple in the jewelry industry for decades, offering a timeless and elegant look that complements any outfit. In this guide, we'll explore two popular types of stud earrings: push pin, studs threadless, threaded screw flat back earrings and studs with screw ball end.

  1. Threadless with Flat Back Earrings: These earrings have a top with a super thin, bendable post that you insert into the labret backing. The post should be bent - this is how the front piece secures into the backing. If the post is not bent, your stud earring will fall out of its backing. The more bend in your post, the more secure your earring will be.
  2. Threaded with Screw Ball End: This type of earring back has a threaded post that screws into a matching threaded earring back. The back is usually a small ball that is threaded onto the post until it is securely in place.

Threadless with Flat Back Earrings:

Secure and Stylish: Threadless Flat Back Earrings feature a top with a super thin, bendable post that is inserted into the labret backing. The post should be bent to secure the front piece into the backing. If the post is not bent, the earring may fall out of its backing. The more bend in the post, the tighter the earring will be secured.

How to Put On Threadless Flat Back Earrings:

  • Before putting on ear, first insert the pin halfway into the post, and slightly bend the pin by pushing it against the backing. Insert the back post into your ear from the back of your ear.
  • Fully push in the pin into the post to secure it.

How to Take Off Threadless Flat Back Earrings:

  • Pull both ends of the earring in opposite directions.
  • If you are having trouble, twist the pin while pulling.

Pros of Threadless Flat Back Earrings:

  • Easiest to wear
  • Stays in really well (only comes off when you pull really hard)
  • Great for tiny, dainty styles
  • Heads are usually interchangeable, and save money on the backings

Cons of Threadless Flat Back Earrings:

Threaded with Screw Ball End:

Secure and Versatile: Studs with screw ball ends feature a threaded post that screws into a small ball-shaped backing, ensuring a secure fit. The ball end adds a decorative element to the earring, making it both functional and stylish. These earrings are versatile and can be worn with various outfits and styles.
