Earring fit

Length

To ensure accuracy in our product descriptions, we follow a specific guideline for measuring earrings. Our standard practice involves measuring from the piercing hole downwards, incorporating the ear wire within the total length mentioned. Hence, when an earring is listed as 4" in length, this measurement includes the ear wire as part of the overall dimension.

What are the most common earring closures?

There are many styles of earring closures and personal preference will vary. The most commonly used closures include traditional ear wires and push back closures. By design, ear wires tend to offer swing to the earring design, while push back earrings feel secure and snug against the lobe. Both styles are comfortable and great for everyday wear. Lever back closures provide extra security to the earring while still embracing a swinging style. Clip on and latch back earrings make an excellent choice for the unpierced ear.
