How Do You Put Hinge Back Earrings On?

Published in Jewelry Care 1 min read

Putting on hinge back earrings is straightforward once you get the hang of it. Here's how:

  1. Open the Hinge: Gently pull the hinged clasp of the earring open. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

  2. Position Your Ear: Hold the hoop portion of the earring with your dominant hand. Use your non-dominant hand to gently hold your earlobe, positioning it for the earring.

  3. Insert the Post: Carefully guide the post (the straight bar) of the earring through your pierced ear. Take your time to avoid scratching or irritating your ear.

  4. Close the Hinge: Once the post is completely through your ear, gently guide it into the hinged clasp on the other side of the earring. You should hear or feel a click, indicating that it's securely fastened.

  5. Check for Security: Lightly tug on the earring to ensure the hinge is properly closed and the earring is secure.
