Earring backings

What are earring backings?

Earring backs are the small pieces of metal that secure earrings in place. Earring backs play an important role in keeping earrings securely in place and preventing them from being lost. It is important to choose the right type of backing for your earrings, as some types are more secure than others.

Different types of earring backings.

Earring backs are important because they keep earrings from falling off and getting lost. They also help to protect the Earring Back from damage. Earring backs come in a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, and rubber. Some people prefer metal earring backs because they are more durable, while others prefer plastic or rubber because they are more comfortable to wear. There are also many different types of earring backs, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Butterfly earring back: The most common type of earring back is the butterfly backing, which consists of a small metal disc with two "wings" that open and close to secure the earring in place.

Screw earring back:  Screw earring backs are more secure than butterfly backs, as they screw onto the earring post to keep it in place.
