Types of Earring Backs
Types of Earring Backs
Earring backs control security, comfort, and ease of use. Fine jewelry collections often need a more secure closure; casual designs may prioritize simple daily wear.
Alpha Jewelry helps match backs to custom studs, hoops, drops, huggies, and private-label earring collections.
Common Back Types
Studs
Push backs
Common, simple closure for many stud earrings.
Security
Screw backs
Extra security for finer or higher-value studs.
Drops
Lever backs
Well suited to drop and dangle earrings.
Hoops
Hinged / silicone
Hinged closures for hoops and huggies; silicone for comfort support.
How to Choose

FAQ
Are screw backs better for fine jewelry studs?
They add security and are often preferred for higher-value studs; we can specify either push or screw in production.
Can backs be changed later?
Sometimes, but it is better to lock the closure during CAD and sampling.
