The Closures

Remember that the back of the earring is very visible, more than you think, and therefore deserves all your attention.

When you buy an earring, evaluate very carefully the type of earring and especially the material it is made of. While the type is linked to aesthetic taste and not only, and there is no discussion about this, the material is of considerable importance because it is the part of the earring that comes into direct contact with your skin.

It's easy to say nickel free.

When choosing an earring, check that it is certified. REACH . An integrated European regulation for the registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals, which aims to ensure a higher level of protection of human health and the environment, while aiming to maintain and strengthen the competitiveness and innovation capabilities of the European chemical industry (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006).

Returning to the type of closures, in the creation of my earrings I mainly use the closed earwire, or pin. For those who do not have pierced earlobes, or slightly dangling, I suggest the iconic clips, but the beautiful ones, not easy to find. Are you thinking of the timeless "button" earrings? Of Coco Chanel …these are the ones!

Thinking of her, I designed my “buttons”, strictly with gold vermeil clips. They are eternal.

When choosing earrings, it is not enough to match your tastes, but to understand the most suitable shape and size, considering your physiognomy. In particular, if your face is round, it is better to opt for pendant earrings, while for an elongated shape, stud earrings will look better. In the case of an oval shape, you are lucky.

Stud earrings or pendant earrings with studs are always very popular, simple and wearable, however, do not forget the weight and shape of the butterfly (the one we always lose). The most common is the simple butterfly, but I suggest you also look at whether the base of the pin has two cleats that block it, preventing it from being lost. In addition to the shape of the butterfly, the importance of the closure can be seen from the shape and amount of gold or silver used to make it. You will certainly like my 3 mm deep “cylinder” closure that keeps the double cleat pin stable; the same is easy to hold between the fingers and to insert at the base of the pin because it is larger, more elegant and has a modern design.

Even the closed earring, so dear to me, must be important, of a certain weight and also showy; sometimes alone it could even be an earring. The safety snap prevents it from opening accidentally and enhances your earring more.

Finally, if the earring is of good quality, you can always disassemble it and reuse it for a new pair of earrings. Vermeil gold  It's long-lasting and it shows.
