Drop Earrings<\/h3>\n

Hinge Backs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hinge back earrings feature a hinged post that snaps onto a groove on the back of the earring.

Shepherd Hook Backs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Shepherd hook earring wires loop through the piercing and hang on the backside of the earlobe. Because of their hook-like design, this style can be worn without an additional backing to secure the earring in place.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/lever-back-earrings.png” alt=”lever back earrings” title_text=”lever-back-earrings” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”75%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font_size=”24px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
