Threader Earrings: What Are They?
As the name implies, threader earrings are made out of a long, dangling chain of earrings that frequently have a bar at one end and a motif or stone at the other. Known as a “threader” since the chain is really threaded between your ears.
Typically, you won’t have to bother about adjusting earring backs because of their length and style, which dangles on both sides of your ear piercing.
Similar solid threader earrings are also available.
How Should a Threader Earring Be Inserted?
In order to avoid pulling on your piercing (ouch! ), you should always insert the solid “bar” at the end of the chain through your ear first. You should also hold the remaining chain on the threader earring up in line with your piercing (that is, at the same height) while you pull the chain through.
Various Styles for Wearing an Earring with Threader
There are many ways to wear threader earrings, so do let us know if we’ve missed any! They are quite adaptable.
Like a standard earring with a post fitting, you can wear them with the motif at the other end of the chain up against your ear and the length of the chain hanging from the back of your ear.
You have the option to draw the chain through so that it hangs partially from your ear lobe and partially from the front of your piercing.
To fit your mood, you can adjust the length of the chain at the front or back (just make sure to slide the chain through the piercing while holding it parallel to the pierced hole). To truly change things up, you can wear the earring sets at varying heights from one ear to the other. If you have several piercings, you can also thread the chain through them all, looping it at different lengths in the front. My daughter frequently enjoys wearing a threader earring in just one ear.
Considerations for Selecting Threader Earrings
Avoid purchasing extremely light threader earrings. Even though less expensive gold or silver earrings could seem like a good deal, if they are particularly light—which less expensive earrings often are because the precious metal’s weight accounts for the majority of the price—they might slide up and through your ear.Of course, if you prefer gold and want to keep the cost down, you can wear silver earrings with a gold plating.
Additionally, lighter earrings won’t “dangle” and move in the same way as a little heavier, better-made earring. In order to make wearing the earrings easy and pleasant, you should also check that the chain is well-made and threads through your earlobe. Rough chains are a false economy because you can decide not to wear them later on and will cause irritation.
Things to Watch Out For When Wearing Threader Earrings
Wearing the threader earring too close to your ear lobe runs the risk of the end wriggling up and through your piercing and losing it.
Please use caution when wearing your threader earrings in addition to the previously indicated caution when insertion and adjustment. It is very easy to get the thread twisted, for example, when brushing your hair, even if it is not quite as easy to grab as a larger hooped earring. When you can’t see a tangle well, it can be difficult to sort it out. A mirror usually makes matters worse rather than better!
When brushing your hair, always “hold” your earring with one hand on the side you are brushing.
