In this article, we will delve into the world of English lock earrings, exploring their history, characteristics, and how they compare to other earring back types. We'll also guide you through Jewellum's high-quality English lock earring collection, offering tips on how to wear and care for your earrings, and how to style them for any occasion.

Understanding English Lock Earrings

Definition and characteristics of English lock earrings

English lock earrings, also known as lever-back earrings or latch-back earrings, are a type of earring closure that features a hinged lever mechanism. This mechanism opens and closes, allowing the earring to securely fasten onto the earlobe. The English lock ensures that the earring remains firmly in place, reducing the risk of loss or accidental removal.

The history and evolution of English lock earrings

The origins of English lock earrings date back to the 18th century, when European jewelers began crafting these secure and sophisticated earring backs. Over time, the English lock design has evolved, incorporating various materials and styles while maintaining its signature secure closure.

Different Types of Earring Backs

There are several types of earring backs available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some common earring back types include:

Butterfly backs (push backs)

Screw backs

Hook backs (fish hook or French wire)

English lock (lever back or latch back)

Comparing English lock with other earring back types

English lock earrings offer a unique combination of security, comfort, and style, making them a popular choice for many jewelry enthusiasts. Unlike butterfly backs, which can be prone to slipping off, English lock earrings ensure a secure fit, reducing the risk of loss. Compared to screw backs, which can be uncomfortable and time-consuming to put on, English lock earrings offer a comfortable and easy-to-use closure. Finally, unlike hook backs, English lock earrings provide a closed loop, preventing the earring from accidentally falling out of the ear.
