Anatomy of an Earring

Anatomy of an Earring

Earrings are precision pieces made up of delicate components like the post, screw back, prongs, jump rings, and stone setting. Each part plays a critical role in comfort, security, and gemstone protection. Over time, worn posts, loose backs, or weakened settings can increase the risk of lost earrings or stones.
