Use this simple method to evaluate the security of a friction post and backing.
Gently test the backing on the post. If it slides off easily or does not hold firmly, it should be replaced immediately.
Impact or trauma to a backing can cause deformation, which compromises its ability to remain secure.
With older posts that have been repeatedly removed and reinserted,
the retention notch on the post may become worn or shallow.
While this can affect overall security, the primary point of failure is most often the backing itself.
If there is any doubt about the security of the jewelry, professional evaluation is recommended.
How a Earring Post and Backing Component Functions
Earring Durability
The earrings and backing components used at Baby Ear Piercing are designed to be secure a
nd are not intended to disengage on their own. However, factors such as unexpected force,
exposure to environmental elements, chemicals, cosmetics, and normal wear over time can affect their durability,
performance, appearance, and overall lifespan.
It is important to routinely check earrings for proper security
and to replace backing components after any unexpected removal or if signs of wear, weakness, or distortion are observed.
If diamonds or gemstones become loose within their settings, the jewelry should be taken to a professional jeweler for proper repair.
While the piercing jewelry used in our services is highly durable,
it is not indestructible and requires appropriate care to maintain safety and longevity.
