After losing so many earrings including expensive 14 K gold ones, I plan to buy only screw back earrings or lever back earrings from now on.  I see that QVC had one style but sold out.  Please offer those again plus other - small round 14 K gold would be great as would Diamondique studs.

Re: Screw Back Earrings Please!

I've never seen earrings with a screwback.  Where have I been?  My favorite is leverbacks.

Screwbacks are an old idea that should be revived.  I will never buy expensive earrings, I just lose too many.  My gold ones are leverbacks, purchased inexpensively at local auctions.

I find the "threaded posts" difficult to maneuver.   That earring back is NOT attached like the old-fashioned ones...    But I DO use them on diamond earrings.

Not born yet. It used to be all you could get.I haven't seen one in years. I'm considered a senior seniors citizen.

This is an example of the "old fashioned ones"

I wonder if @WCMJerseyGirl  was referring to exactly what @Desertdi posted. I don't know how many jewelers still do those regularly but I had it done with I bought my diamond studs. It cost me a few bucks but the shop waived the cost when I picked them up.

Re: Screw Back Earrings Please!

I had a pair of amethyst earrings that I converted from clutch back to screw back. Bad decision, it took too long to put them on and remove. 
 I had the jeweler change them back.
