To remove a seamless earring (often called a clicker or seam ring), locate the hinge and closure, then gently click the hinged portion open and away from the rest of the earring.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Identify the Closure: Seamless rings have a small hinge and a closure point where the two ends meet. This can sometimes be difficult to find. Use your fingernail or fingertips to gently feel around the earring. A friend can also help you locate it.
-
Open the Ring: Once you've found the closure, gently pull the hinged part of the ring away from the rest of the earring. It should "click" open.
-
Remove the Earring: With the ring open, you can now gently slide the earring out of your piercing.
Tips for a Smooth Removal:
- Wash Your Hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your piercing or jewelry.
- Lubricate: If the earring is difficult to remove, try using a small amount of water-based lubricant to help it slide out more easily.
- Be Patient: Don't force the earring if it's stuck. Gently wiggle it back and forth while applying slight pressure until it comes loose.
- Seek Professional Help: If you're having trouble removing the earring, don't hesitate to visit a professional piercer. They have the tools and expertise to remove stubborn jewelry safely.
Troubleshooting:
- Can't Find the Closure? If you are still struggling to find the hinge and closure, try rotating the earring slowly while feeling for a slight gap or indentation. Using a magnifying glass might also help.
By following these steps and tips, you should be able to remove your seamless earring safely and easily.
