How To Put in Push Back Hoop Earrings?

Push backs (also known as butterfly backs) are the classic type of closing for stud earrings. But it’s not uncommon to also see them on hoops.

Putting them in is nice and easy following these steps:

• Slide the small butterfly back off the post of your hoop earring.

• Carefully guide the post of your hoop through your ear piercing until it’s all the way out of the other side at the back.

• Push the back onto the post and slide it until it sits comfortably behind your ear. Make sure it’s secure enough so it won’t fall off but not too tight to cause discomfort.

They come as 15mm, 30mm and 50mm hoops to suit your taste as well as chunky hoops for when you want that extra bit of glam.

How To Put in Latch Back Hoop Earrings?

Latch back hoop earrings are also commonly known as clasped hoop earrings. They feature a bar that can be slotted securely into place between a pronged fixture on the other side of the earring.

Use these tips to put them in:

• Gently free the movable bar by snapping it up out of the prongs on your hoop earring.

• Thread the bar all the way through your ear lobe from the front to the back.

• Gentle push the free hanging part of the hoop back up towards the bar so it meets with the fastening clasp feature.

• Gentle push the bar down into the clasp until it makes a secure click.

All of which are available as gold hoop earrings, silver hoop earring and rose gold hoop earrings.

How To Put In Huggie Hoops?

By design, huggie hoops are a small, delicate style of earring that sits close to the earlobe. They are most likely to feature a hinge closing like the one described above but their petite size can make them that little bit more fiddly.

Here’s how to put them in right every time:

• Carefully release the huggie hoop earring into two parts by pulling gently on one side.

• Gently thread the bar all the way through your ear.

• Once all the way through, secure into place by pushing the huggie hoop back up towards the bar.

• This will then snap back into place but you may need to apply a bit more gentle pressure until you hear a click.

• Because of their dainty size, some people find using a magnified make-up mirror particularly helpful when putting in huggie hoops.
