Stud, Hook or Hoop Options
Too many backing options to select from? Need a little bit more clarification before purchasing? Check out the photos and descriptions below.
.
.
Surgical Steel Stud - The surgical steel posts and butterfly backs are my standard backing option. They are made from a mixture of metals but are most importantly NICKEL FREE and HYPOALLERGENIC. Nickel is usually the metal that most people are allergic to therefore, most customers with sensitive ears are fine with this option.

.
925 Sterling Silver Stud - The sterling silver posts and butterfly backs are £4 more than the surgical steel option. Sterling silver is made from pure silver making this the perfect option for anyone with
super-sensitive ears. Each sterling silver backing has the 925 hallmark and is lighter in colour than the surgical steel backing option.
.
.
Clip-On - The clip-on backs are made from iron and are silver plated.
They have a rubber cushion pad at the back for added comfort, perfect for anyone who loves earrings but who doesn't have their ears pierced.
.
.
Hooks - Hooks are made from either surgical steel, sterling silver or gold/rose gold plated. Surgical steel is silver in colour but slightly darker than sterling silver. There is also a black hook option which is made from a black wire meaning it is slightly more flexible and delicate than the rest. Each hook comes with a rubber tube stopper on the back. You can choose whether to wear your earring with this or without.

Sterling Silver Hooks - These are £4 more than the other hook options and are made from pure silver making this the perfect option for anyone with super-sensitive ears. Each sterling silver hook has the 925 hallmark and is lighter in colour than the surgical steel hook option.
