Types of buckles on earrings

When choosing earrings, special attention should be paid to the clasp. The comfort in a sock in many respects depends on it. If you want the earrings to be comfortable not to get lost, choose the fastener correctly. And we will tell you how to do it!

Let's sort a fastener "in parts". The components of any earring are a fastener, a base and a pin.

1. A fastener - or "bow" - is inserted directly into the earlobe, covering it from behind.
2. The base is the front part of the product, which is decorated with stones, enamel. It is applied to the base that will be seen from the side.
3. The pin is the straight part of the earring, at the end of which there is a latch-lock.

There are also details that are in the design of some types of earrings:

• Caste is a part of a product of various shapes, into which decorative inserts are fastened, for example, stones. Cust is a kind of framing that reliably fixes a stone and bears a decorative function.

• A pendant is a free-hanging element attached to the base of the earring. Usually it is a large massive decoration that attracts attention.

The type of fastener depends on the design and type of the earring elements. It is she who is responsible for the reliability of fastening and wearing comfort.

What are the clasps? In fact, there are a lot of names, and they may even be unfamiliar. However, most fastener types are familiar to you. Perhaps earrings with "unknown" locks are in your jewelry box.

What is the fastest fastener? Let's do everything in order.

English - perhaps the most reliable and common clasp for earrings. It fits tightly. The lock snaps right around the earlobe, fixing the product tightly.

If the lock is working, then losing such an earring is almost impossible. Most of the earrings in jewelry stores just have an English clasp.

However, she has a number of drawbacks. For example, it is necessary to individually select earrings for the thickness of the earlobe. If the pin is too short, the lobe will pinch. This will cause discomfort. If the pin is unnecessarily long, the earrings will hang in an ugly ear. And the pin may be too thick. He can even stretch the hole in the ear, which will not look aesthetically pleasing when you wear other earrings.

Italian fastener is designed according to the type of English and has all its advantages - reliability and aesthetic appearance.

There is an Italian fastener and an additional advantage - the hostess of earrings can adjust the "width" of the castle. That is, earrings with Italian clasp are suitable for ear lobes of any thickness.

Of course, a number of dignity is ensured by the painstaking work of the jeweler and is justified by the high cost. That is why the Italian castle is equipped with luxury jewelry. They will have only one drawback: for the castle to work properly, earrings must be removed overnight.

Another clasp, similar to the English - American. The only difference is that the fastener is fixed in a small ring on the other side of the lobe. The fastener is reliable and modern. It is less common than other types of locks. Earrings with an American lock also need to be removed overnight so as not to disable the buckle.

The French clasp is also called the “loop”.Thin fastener smoothly passes into the hook, which fixes a small loop.

This is a convenient type of lock on the earrings, especially for sensitive ears. He does not pinch the ear, allows you to move the earring in the lobe. Earrings with a French lock are ideal as the first earrings. That is why the French castle is the most popular in children's earrings.

However, the French fastener type cannot be called reliable. The loop can open, bend, lose shape. Earrings with a French clasp is better not to wear sports or outdoor games.

A simplified version of the French castle is called the lock-loop. If in the French castle the fastener is fixed from below, then here the fastener is slightly longer and is not fixed at all. It just hangs behind your earlobe.

Lock-loop is not reliable. Especially if the base of the earring is inlaid with a heavy gem. Under the weight of the decoration can simply fall out of the ear, what would cause the owner extra trouble.

Puseta - a common clasp - carnation. Simple design and comfort socks won the love of women around the world.

Earrings are very popular now. A stylish pearl, an elegant diamond or a playful enamel berry - all this can beautify the stud earrings. They are carried to work, to a secular party or put on in a restaurant.

The downside of the fastener-studs is the precariousness of the design. The latch behind the lobe in some cases can be unfastened and lost. Sometimes the earring itself is lost after it. In order to avoid this trouble, you must carefully check the fastener for strength every time you put it on.

Earrings - pevokovki ceased to be popular. These fasteners can not be called comfortable. This earring is simply inserted into the ear and remains there due to the equal length and weight of the product on both sides of the lobe.

Chain earrings are usually quite long and heavy. They can pull the ear down. Perpetuals long ago moved from everyday life to a world where earrings are worn for literally a few hours. Propevka or chains - ideal for a photo shoot or a short print. However, even for such cases there are more suitable types of locks.

The pin is a convenient and simple lock. It really resembles the usual pin on the design. Usually a lock-pin fixes massive jewelry in the form of rings.

The only drawback of such a lock may be that the length of the “pin” will be less than the width of the lobe. Then it will cause discomfort when worn. Try on the product before buying and listen to your feelings.

Earrings with a ring-type lock look on the ears as if the lock does not exist at all. Earring in the form of a ring (usually of large diameter) is located in the ear, as if it passes through a lobe through. In fact, a small pin is hidden inside the ring, which perfectly fixes the earring.

These earrings must be removed at night. Otherwise, you can injure your ear and damage the lock.

This type of castle is also called "gypsy". It is usually presented on large earrings with an oriental design.

Its design consists of a pin, which is tightly fixed on the other side of the lobe with the help of a small ball. Lock-clip is very reliable and can withstand the weight of the heaviest earrings. But the design of the eastern earrings is not for everyone.

The clasp cuff is a novelty of jewelers that has rapidly gained popularity. Thanks to this fastener, a woman can afford to wear the heaviest earrings comfortably.

We can say that the cuff consists of two parts. The first part of the lock fixes the earring in the lobe with the help of a zipper-stud. The second part of the lock supports the heavy earring elements on the upper part of the ear.

The clip is another unusual fastener. Long graceful rods fit snugly to the ear and fix the earring.The most difficult, perhaps, is to pick up the earrings so that they do not squeeze the ear, but also could hold the earring.

It takes time, or even an individual jeweler, to choose suitable jewelery with a lock clip. In exchange for financial and time costs, you will get the perfect unusual earrings.

• To choose a suitable lock on the earrings, you need time. Depending on the way of life, the shape of the ear, the hairstyle and even the most beloved hats, different types of locks are suitable for women. It is not enough to try on earrings in the jewelry salon. You need to try them in the sock.

• First, understand how to unfasten and how to fasten the earrings. Insert them in the lobe and listen to your feelings. You should not be hurt or unpleasant. The clasp should not squeeze the lobe on both sides.
• Move the product in the ear, twist sharply head in different directions. The earring should not fall out and strongly loosen.

How to replace silicone clasps on studs? Women invent different ways. Someone is even trying to use a regular office eraser as a plug. But this is not a solution. Spare fasteners can be found in the shops of sewing accessories or handicrafts, as well as ordered online. Their price does not exceed 100 rubles.

And in order not to lose earrings and not to search for spare parts for your jewelry, you need to carefully choose the fastener on the jewelry. We hope our useful tips will help you with this!
