A flat back is characterized by a flat post that is hollow from the inside. This helps the earring post to be hidden in the hollow part and not stick out. This also prevents poking the back of your ear when you lie down or sleep. Such types of backs work extremely well with stud earrings as they are the smallest type of earrings. Hence, they are best suited for people who want fuss-free jewelry for daily wear.
