How do you Unclasp Hoop Earrings?

Published in Jewelry Care 2 mins read

Unfortunately, the provided reference only describes huggie hoop earrings, which are a specific type. Generally, unclasping hoop earrings depends on the type of clasp they use. Here are the most common methods:

  • Hinged Post: These have a straight post that clicks into a groove on the opposite side of the hoop. To unclasp, gently pull the post straight out of the groove.

  • Snap Post: Similar to a hinged post, but the post often has a slight curve to it. To unclasp, gently pull the post away from the hoop, it will often "snap" open.

  • Continuous Hoop: These usually have a thin, flexible wire that inserts into the hollow tube on the other end of the hoop. Gently pull the wire out of the tube.

  • Lever Back: These have a hinged lever on the back that secures the post. To unclasp, release the lever, allowing the post to slide out.

  • Huggie Earrings: As mentioned in the reference, these earrings have a post (often with a slight curve) that clicks into the back of the hoop, creating a continuous circle around the ear. To open, gently pull the post away from the earring until it unsnaps.

It is important to be gentle when unclasping any type of earring to avoid bending or damaging the clasp or the earring itself.
