Find a nice pair of earrings for your unique style is important. You want to look stylish and different at the same time. Let me share a style guide with you on what design earrings. Earrings made of any number of materials, including metal, plastic, glass, precious stone, beads, wood, bone, and other materials. Designs range from small loops and studs to large plates and dangling items.
Friction backs
Also known as “Push backs” and “Butterfly back” are the most common type of earring backs for pierced ears. A thin post slips through the piercing and is secured into a separate piece: the clutch backing. However, it is known to not be as secure as other backings due to its looseness.
Snap-bars
Also known as “Latch back“. There are two types of latch backs: one has the post on a hinge and clips into a notch on the back of the earring. The second has an immobile post and a lever-style back that has a hole for the post to slide in to.
French Wires
Only used with drop earrings, this style has no back to it. It is a curved wire hook that the earring itself can be attached to.
Lever Backs
This type of earring back has a curved wire hook but are latched behind the ear with a lever that opens and closes. These are only used with drop earrings.
