Earrings are the undisputed jewelry of choice for women across the world. A good pair of earrings can light up the face and pull together the entire outfit. From studs to hoops and danglers, you will find that there is something for everyone as the options for earrings are almost endless. However, it can be a task and a half to pick an ideal pair with numerous options out there. We’d say, choosing earrings with suitable backing is a good place to start.

Tips to Adjust Earring Backs

Why Choose Screw on Earring Backs?

  • Secure and Safe

A screw-back earring has a threaded post with a screw at the back, which is secured by rotating it around the threaded post. The screw back sits perfectly behind the earlobe and with some patience and dexterity, it can be easily fastened on the earring. Since the screw-back cannot be easily removed, it is the best choice for toddlers and babies. Also, if you are someone who fidgets with their earrings or someone who always tends to lose them, then screw on backs are perfect for you.

  • Variety of Earring Styles

You will be surprised at the variety of designs the screw backing style has to offer. The truth is, it’s the most versatile backing for most earring styles and hence, it is popular out of all the types of earring backs. Not just stud earrings, but if you also want to buy hoop earrings, danglers, drop earrings or ear climbers, you will easily find a pair with screw back closures. Especially for statement earrings like statement studs and drop earrings, screw backs are ideal as the earring post is made strong enough to hold bigger and heavier stones and secure the earrings in place.

  • Durability and Longevity

They are very durable and can be worn over a long period of time without any worries. With proper maintenance, these earring backs can prove to be a one-time investment that will last for years. But with daily use, you must take good care and clean the earring backs regularly. The threads can also be replaced if they wear out over time, without changing the whole earring set.

  • The Best Grip

Compared to other earring backs, screw-on earring backs fit the best. When fastened properly, the grip they offer is tight and secure. These earring backs don’t come off if handled properly and not until they are further meddled with. Screw back style earrings are especially suitable for people who do not like to swap out earrings every day. Dainty studs, drops and hoops with screw backs are some of the best picks to go for daily wear.

  • You Will Never Lose them

Since screw-back earrings have threaded posts that require the screws to be fastened onto them, they cannot be pulled off just like that. They must be unscrewed if you wish to remove them. If you know how to remove a flat back earring, removing a screw back is similar. So if you constantly find yourself dropping your earrings here and there and losing them often, then it’s time to switch to screw back earrings.

  • Wear Them Daily

Screw on earring backs are not only secure but also the best type for dainty and minimal earrings. Compared to other earring backs, lesser metal is used to make the screw back closure, resulting in lightweight earrings that are perfect for daily wear. You can wear screw back studs, hoops or small drop earrings every day without having to worry about stretched or split earlobes.
