Looking for ear jewelry that's secure, comfortable, and stylish? Internally threaded stud earrings might be your new go-to! In this guide, we'll explore how our solid gold jewelry offers the perfect combination of comfort and elegance for those who want effortless style without compromising on comfort. Read on to dive into the world of internally threaded earrings.
What is an Internally Threaded Stud Earring?
An internally threaded stud earrings features a post (or pin) that screws into a smooth, threaded backing. This design ensures a snug fit, reducing the chance of the earring falling out. Unlike traditional studs with butterfly backs, internally threaded studs are more secure and reduce the risk of catching on hair or clothing.
At Valensole Jewelry, our collection of internally threaded earrings is crafted from 14K solid gold, including the threaded pin and flat back, making them ideal for sensitive ears. One of the standout features of our studs is the flat back design with our unique signature diamond-shaped logo backing, which allows for easy and secure tightening. This thoughtful detail ensures comfort and stability, helping your jewelry stay in place throughout the day.
For added convenience, we also offer an easy-to-use titanium piercing insertion pin. This tool, with its 34mm long stem and tapered design, guides your flat back stud post through the piercing effortlessly. Whether you're changing internally threaded or threadless flat back studs, this tool ensures a seamless, smooth experience—making even hard-to-access piercings like nose studs, tragus, or flat earrings hassle-free and pain-free.
Why Choose Internally Threaded Stud Earrings?
Internally threaded stud earrings are a great choice for individuals with sensitive ears, as the threaded backing design minimizes discomfort and irritation. Here's why you should consider switching to internally threaded jewelry:
- Secure Fit: The internally threaded backing ensures a snug and secure fit, even during daily wear.
- Comfortable Design: The smooth backing design prevents irritation, making these earrings perfect for extended wear.
- Durable: Crafted entirely from solid gold, including the pin, our earrings are both durable and elegant, ideal for those looking for long-lasting jewelry.
What is a Threadless Stud Earring?
A threadless stud earring uses a pressure-fit system instead of a screw-back to stay in place. The pin has a small ridge or indentation that fits into a corresponding backing. Threadless earrings easy to insert and remove, making them a convenient option for those who frequently change their jewelry.
Externally Threaded Jewelry: A Caution
Externally threaded earrings, where the threading is on the outside of the post, can be more abrasive on your skin, especially when inserting them into your piercing. This design can cause discomfort and even damage to the piercing hole, making internally threaded jewelry a better, safer choice.
Threaded vs. Threadless Earrings: Pros and Cons
The jewelry industry has evolved, with more piercing studios shifting from surgical steel to titanium and threadless designs. However, both threaded and threadless options have their pros and cons.
Internally Threaded Earrings: Pros
- Highly Secure: Requires multiple turns to lock in place, providing extra security.
- Easier to Manager: Less likely to fall out, even if caught on hair or clothing.
- Durable and Long-lasting: Solid gold construction ensures your earrings will last.
Cons:
- Can take more time to insert compared to threadless styles.
- Backings will likely not be interchangeable across different brands.
- Occasionally requires retightening.
Threadless Earrings: Pros
- Quick and Easy: Simply push the pin in, and the tension holds it in place.
- Universal Compatibility: Threadless ends work with any threadless labret posts.
- No Loosening: Less likely to loosen by itself.
Cons:
- Requires some learning, especially for bending the jewelry pin.
- Risk of losing jewelry if not removed carefully.
- Getting caught on things like hair or brush may pull the threadless end out.
Our Recommendation: Internally Threaded for Superior Security
At Valensole Jewelry, we recommend internally threaded earrings for those who prioritize comfort, security, and durability. Though they may be more expensive than threadless options, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Internally threaded earrings feature secure pin threading that requires multiple turns to unscrew, giving you plenty of time to notice any loosening before the jewelry can fall out. For added peace of mind, we suggest regularly checking your jewelry and tightening it as needed—but avoid overtightening to prevent damaging the threads.
Our internally threaded earrings also have fine threading and a long pin for extra security, making them an ideal choice for jewelry adorned with natural diamonds. While diamonds are the hardest natural material, they can chip or shatter if dropped—so choosing a secure setting is key to preserving their beauty.
Invest in Craftmanship That Lasts
When you choose internally threaded jewelry from Valensole, you're investing in high-quality craftsmanship that enhances the longevity of your favorite pieces. Whether adorned with diamonds or crafted from solid gold, our earrings are designed to be just as beautiful as the day you bought them—while offering unmatched security and peace of mind.
