    Learn More About Screw Back Earrings

    Many people choose a screw-back earring to keep their earrings more secure, especially if they wear the earrings overnight or for several days in a row. Different from a traditional post earring, a screw-back earring features a threaded post that the back closure screws onto. This keeps the back of the earring in place more securely than a traditional post.


    Screw-back earrings are excellent choices when you’d like an earring style that you don’t need to swap out with every outfit change. They’re also ideal if you have multiple piercings and like a layered look but don’t want to change all of your earrings every day.

    Discover many different styles of screw-back earrings for adults from sellers on Etsy, including traditional earring designs such as dangle and drops, chandelier, and hoop as well as a wide range of cartilage earrings.


    Screw-back stud earrings are a popular type for both men and women and come in a variety of designs. You’ll find minimalist ball studs for everyday wear, sparkling gemstone studs in vivid hues to dazzle on special occasions, and screw-back studs with shapes such as hearts, animals, flowers, and geometric designs to express your personality and interests.


    Diamond, pearl, gold, and vintage screw-back earrings are also popular choices because they’re versatile and easy to style with many different outfits.

    With their secure fastening design, screw-back earrings are ideal choices for children’s jewelry. However, there are other factors to consider when looking for the right pair. Opt for children’s screw-back earrings made of hypoallergenic materials such as stainless steel, surgical steel, sterling silver, and 14-karat or 18-karat gold. Size also matters. Children’s screw-back earrings are considerably smaller than screw-back earrings for adults. Look for earrings with shorter posts and covered backs for comfortable wear.


    Browse the small shops on Etsy to discover many quality-crafted screw-back earring designs made especially for little ones. You’ll find fun and adorable teeny-tiny styles kids will love—from beautiful birthstone studs to teddy bears, flowers, and dinosaurs.

    Have you found your perfect pair of earrings but prefer a screw-back closure? Many earrings sold by shops on Etsy can be customized with this closure type. Some sellers offer the option to select your closure style, so you can choose an earring design, then request a screw back or alternate closure to suit your preferences.
