How to Wear Flat Back Earrings: A Step-by-Step Guide

Although many believe flat back earrings are only suitable for cartilage piercings, the fact is you can wear them in your first or second lobe piercing as well! Today, we'll show you how to properly wear these comfortable and stylish earrings so you can enjoy their ultimate comfort.

Step 1: Unscrew the Flat Back Earring

First,The flat back earring's ornamental front piece must be taken off first. Because they are internally threaded, the majority of flat back earrings are secure and won't fall out.

Step 2: Use a Regular Stud Earring as a Guide

Look for any standard stud earrings you might have laying about. Here we are using Twinkle Studs. Insert the regular stud earring through your piercing to ensure the hole is open. Remove the backing of the regular stud earring to prepare for the next step.

Step 3: Insert the Flat Back Earring

Flat back earrings are thicker than standard stud earrings. They may need help to go through the hole. Here's how a regular stud earring can assist:

Keep the regular stud in place. Align the post of the flat back earring with the back of the regular stud. Gently twist and push the flat back earring forward. It will gradually replace the regular stud. Once fully inserted, ensure the post smoothly passes through your ear. 

Step 4: Secure the Earring Top

Now, screw the decorative top of your Opal Marquee flat back earring onto the post. That’s it! You now have a comfortable flat back earring securely in place.

Why Choose Flat Back Earrings?
