How to Wear Screw-Back Clip-On Earrings

New to screw-back clip-on earrings? Don't worry — once you find the right adjustment for your earlobe, they can be very comfortable to wear and stay securely in place.

Every earlobe is different, so your earrings may need a little adjustment the first time you wear them. Follow these simple steps to find your comfortable fit.

Watch our video below for a quick demonstration, then follow the steps to get the perfect fit.

Step 1: Adjust the Screw

Before putting the earrings on, gently turn the screw to adjust the opening according to the thickness of your earlobe. Start with the screw slightly loose so there is enough space to put the earring on comfortably.

Step 2: Slide the Earring Onto Your Ear

Find the thinner part of your earlobe and gently slide the earring into position. This makes it easier to put the clip-on earring on without applying too much pressure.

Step 3: Tighten the Screw

Once the earring is in the desired position, gently turn the screw to tighten it against your earlobe. Tighten it gradually until the earring feels secure.

Step 4: Adjust for Comfort

Check the earring and make small adjustments if needed. The earring should feel secure but comfortable — it shouldn't feel too tight or pinch your earlobe.

A Little Practice Makes Perfect

If you're wearing screw-back clip-ons for the first time, don't worry if it takes a little practice to find the right adjustment. Once you discover the setting that suits your earlobe, putting them on and adjusting them will become much easier.

Tip: Everyone's earlobes are different, so take a moment to adjust the screw to your individual ear. A comfortable fit should feel secure without excessive pressure.
