My diamond studs have the screw backs and I wouldn't have it any other way!

That's the most secure.

As a matter of fact, I have multiple pairs since I have 7 holes, but 1 pair didn't come with screw backs, so I paid a jeweler to convert them to a screw back.

...screw backs.

My diamond studs are screw backs since I never take them off only to clean, I wouldn't have them any other way for security purposes.

I have two pairs, one of each.  Since I never sleep with earrings, I do have to remove them often.

Screw backs are harder to work with when your fingers, or shoulders, don't cooperate.  

Thinking of converting a pair into lever back.

@Shanus - DH gave me "eternity" (3 stone) diamond earrings for our 25th anniversary. They had the screw back fasteners, which I had never seen.

 I asked if they could change them to a regular fastener, and the jeweler said I didn't want to do that. He emphasized the security of the earrings, and said I would have no chance of losing them.

 I don't wear them much, mostly special nights out. But I allow myself 15 extra minutes to put them on!

I also take them any time we go away, even if I won't be wearing them!

@Shanus  I used to work at a high end jewelry store and whenver we made or sold a pair of diamond stud earrings we always recommended getting screwback closures.  When I received a pair of diamond studs from my husband we converted them to screw back.

As other posters mentioned it takes a little bit more time to put on but the peace of mind is worth it.  Having worked in a store I have heard many sad stories of clients who lost earrings and regret not getting screwback closures in the first place.

I think screwbacks get the majority vote. Thank you, everyone.

I don't have an answer to your question and I apologize for butting in to your topic, but I wanted to ask --- isn't the 20th of this month - Saturday --- your birthday?  I was thinking that it was because it was the same day as mine!  

[Shanus]

@AngelPuppy1   Oh, that's so sweet that you remembered "our" birthdays. Happy Birthday...early!

@Shanus 

Happy Birthday to you, too!  I would post a picture for you but I have not a clue how to do it!  In any event, I hope you have a wonderful day.  Do you and your husband have special plans?  And maybe more diamonds will be on your gift table!  I wish for you a beautiful and special day -- for a beautiful and special person!!!!
