The Different Types of Earring Posts & Backs
We can repair all types of earrings posts and backs, including friction earring posts, threaded earring posts, and secure lock backs.
Friction Earring
Posts
Friction Earring Posts are the most common type of post and are found on basic stud earrings. They use push backs, also known as “friction backs,” which are push-on and pull-off backings. These backs are the most popular and affordable type, sliding onto the post easily and holding the earrings securely using tension. These types of backs also feature a notch that helps keep the backing in place for daily wear.
If you require a conversion to a different post style or need a specific repair for your earrings, feel free to Contact Us.
Threaded Earring
Posts
Threaded Earring Posts are typically found on higher-value stud earrings, such as diamond studs, and are designed for use with screw backings. These posts require the ear nut to be screwed on and off, providing a much higher level of protection against accidental loss. We also offer a hybrid threaded post option that is push-on and screw-off, combining the ease of a friction back with the security of a threaded system.
If you find threaded posts uncomfortable or difficult to use, or if your current threads have become stripped, feel free to Contact Us for a conversion or replacement.
Secure Lock
Backs
Secure lock backs are the most secure and durable type of earring back available, making them the top recommendation for your most valuable gemstone and heirloom earrings. They feature a sophisticated double-grooved locking mechanism that allows the back to slide on easily while remaining firmly locked into place. Additionally, many styles include a large plastic disc designed to stabilize and provide comfort for heavier earrings.
If you are looking to upgrade your current earrings to our most secure locking system, feel free to Contact Us.
What If I Want to Change
My Earring Posts & Backs?
If you have decided that your current earring setup isn’t right for you, the good news is that they can be fully converted! Whether you are upgrading for security or switching for comfort, an experienced professional jeweler can perform a complete replacement of both the posts and the ear nuts to meet your needs.
Converting a friction post to a threaded post is our most common request, as it provides greater protection against loss. Conversely, if you find threads difficult to use, we can convert them to a smooth friction post for ease of wear. If you have an earring post that you would like to replace or convert, feel free to Contact Us.
