Screw backs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screw backs are the reason to buy these.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA friction back — the small pinch-on butterfly that comes on almost every stud sold — holds by tension alone, and tension loosens. It loosens against pillows, against sweaters pulled over the head, against a phone held to the ear. Most people who have lost a diamond earring lost it to a friction back, and they usually did not notice until hours later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA screw back threads onto the post and locks. It takes an extra few seconds to put on and it does not come off on its own. For a child, for someone who sleeps in their earrings, or for any stone you would be genuinely upset to lose, it is the only closure I recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the metal: 18k is 75 percent pure gold against 14k’s 58 percent. It is marginally softer, which matters for a ring you knock against desks all day but matters very little for an earring that sits still in a lobe. What you gain is a denser, warmer feel and less alloy overall — which is worth knowing if you or your daughter have ever reacted to costume jewelry, since nickel in the alloy is usually the culprit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 0.20 carats total, roughly 3.1 millimeters each. Small, but past the point where a diamond reads as a diamond rather than a sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diamond Tales","offers":[{"title":"White Gold","offer_id":49053343350938,"sku":"AH1397","price":840.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/5054\/4282\/files\/diamond-mini-stud-earrings-18k-white-gold-screw-backs.png?v=1787337567","url":"https:\/\/www.diamondtales.com\/products\/diamond-mini-stud-earrings-18k-white-gold-screw-backs","provider":"DIAMOND TALES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
