---------------------------------------------------------------------

Why would anyone wear clip earrings, you ask?
Clip earrings are the perfect choice for anyone who loves beautiful contemporary earring styles without the fear and risk of stretching the holes in their ears, even worse, risking painful tears. Sometimes, people choose non-pierced earrings because they choose not to pierce their ears at all. People who have ears surgically repaired can simply choose their favorite earring styles with a different, kinder closure that will decrease any stretch or stress to the ear. Clip earrings allow the ears to look good and be healthy.

Children/kids may also prefer clip earrings as these accessories are usually small, cute and playful to wear. They are great accessories to match their wardrobe. There is no need for children to have pierced ears, most clip earrings for children are small and gentle. They are not only pretty, they are easy to wear.

Now a days they are many choices for clip earrings findings, this is great news for all. Clip earring findings can be chosen based on their metal content (most likely to match the metal used on the earrings), their size, and most important their closure mechanism which affects the looks and the comfort while wearing them.

The key to choosing the perfect closure should be made based on your personal style but MOST importantly on your level of comfort with previous clip-styled earrings. People who have previously worn clip earrings feel very comfortable with the classic hinged-type clips, others, specially people new to clip earrings, may appreciate the comfort of screw-back findings, which give the ability to control the amount of tension and pressure to the ear.

Here are two interesting guidelines on how to choose clip earrings and also a guideline on choosing earrings for gifts to others

---------------------------------------------------------------------


How do I choose my clip findings?
Two basic rules: First choose what is comfortable. Then choose what looks good. For people who have never worn clip earrings, it is highly recommended to purchase a pair of clip findings FIRST. This will allow a person to test the comfort level for that particular clip earring finding. Once you find the perfect comfort/ fit of a clip earrings, you can venture to try the clips with full earring designs.

We continually add to our inventory of clip earring findings- Come see what clip earring findings are available at our store.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the best choice of clips for people who are sensitive to nickel?
Without a doubt, if you have any reaction to nickel metal, avoid any closure that is nickel-based or plated (Plated items contain a small amount of nickel) at all costs. The best choice of clip earring findings for people who have nickel allergies are .925 sterling silver and nickel-free clip findings

If you are unsure of the amount of nickel on earrings that you may already own, you can quickly test the amount of nickel using a simple chemical solution such as Allertest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


What to do with vintage clipon earrings or clip earrings that are uncomfortable? Is there any way to provide extra comfort to these clip earrings?
Yes, there are many clip-pads or cushions on the market designed to provide a "cushion" to the pressure point of a hinged clip earring. We recommend these cushions on all our classic hinged-clips as an insurance to provide comfort to the ears. You can add them to your purchase here.

Other option? People with sensitive ears love the feel of screw-back clips with the addition of cushion pads. This combination truly maximizes the chances for good comfort when wearing clip-style earrings. You can also modify or fix your vintage cabochons earrings by exchanging the clip findings to an ear-friendly choice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Should the style of the earrings affect the decision to pick the appropriate clip earring finding?
Absolutely. A larger earring will benefit from a clip closure that balances not only the look but also weight of the earring design. Heavy chandelier-type earrings using small clip finding backs will not only pull hard on the earlobes but they will most likely be prone to slide off. On the other hand, small dainty earrings with large clip-balls will look unbalanced and un proportional.

Also it is important to find the clip that gives you the best comfort. Small screw back earrings are a great way to test your earlobes. These clips are small, light and allow you to control the pressure to the earlobe.

Do your carry gold filled or solid 14K gold clip findings/closures?
Yes, we have access to 14K gold clips. We can get them in gold filled and solid 14k. These clips are specially ordered. Due to their weight they can be quite expensive and are dependent on the availability of our distributor. You can purchase the Gold filled clip findings here . Solid 14K are quiet pricey $90.00 a pair! (their weight is aprox 0.64 grams). These are gorgeous and definitely worth to use on a pair of luxurious earrings or a heirloom. If you are interested please let us know so we can inquire on the availability for you.
