Internally vs. Externally Threaded Earrings: What’s the Difference?
The terms "internally threaded" and "externally threaded", refer to how the Jewellery is designed to fasten. Here’s a simple breakdown:
- Internally Threaded Earrings: In these designs, the post (the part that goes through your piercing) is smooth, and the threads are inside the post. The decorative end screws into the post. This design is gentler on your piercing since there’s no thread scraping against your skin as you insert or remove the jewelry. Internally threaded earrings are typically considered higher quality and ideal for fresh or healing piercings.
- Externally Threaded Earrings: In these designs, the threads are on the outside of the post. This means the threaded portion goes through your piercing before being fastened, which can sometimes irritate or damage the piercing channel. These are more common in less expensive or starter jewelry but are generally not recommended for sensitive skin or fresh piercings.
For anyone looking for comfort, durability, and quality, internally threaded jewelry is the way to go. It’s especially great for sensitive areas like ear lobes, cartilage, and nose piercings.
How to Remove Threadless Earrings
If you’re new to threadless earrings, removing them might seem tricky at first, but it’s actually pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Here’s how:
- Grip Both Ends: Hold the front decorative piece with one hand and the backing with the other hand.
- Pull Gently: Threadless earrings work with tension. To remove them, simply pull the two pieces apart. You might need a little bit of force, but don’t twist—they’re not designed to unscrew.
- Be Patient: If they’re a bit stiff, try wiggling the pieces gently to loosen them.
Pro Tip: If you’re finding it hard to grip the jewelry, use latex gloves for extra grip, or visit your piercer for assistance.
