Frequently Asked Questions
To use earring posts:
- Prepare the Post: Start by ensuring the post is clean and ready for use. Apply Flux.
- Attach Decorative Elements: Solder your chosen decorative element to the flat end of the post.
- Secure the Post: Once the decorative element is attached and set, clean and polish the area. Finish with an appropriate earring back to secure the earring in the earlobe.
The ideal thickness of earring posts generally ranges between 0.8mm to 1.0mm. This thickness provides a balance between strength and comfort. Thicker posts can offer more durability but may be less comfortable for some wearers, especially those with smaller piercings.
For sensitive ears, earring posts made of hypoallergenic materials like platinum or high-karat gold (like 18ct) are usually the best choice. These materials are less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritation.
Additionally, our nickel-free posts are recommended as nickel is a common allergen found in many metal alloys.
