Since I have really good luck with losing jewelry (ha!), I had the posts of my diamond studs turned into screwback posts. These were my first pair of earrings with screwback posts. All I knew about screwbacks was that they were less likely to come off. But for the past 6 months, I would lose a screwback every month or so. They just twirled freely and loosely around my screwback posts. With gold prices where they are, this was getting expensive. When I went back to the Jeweler for the nth time, they finally told me that I wasn't using the screwbacks properly. Thank you but couldn't you have told me this the first time around?
So here's how to properly screw on screwbacks (you may already know this but I didn't and one of you out there may not): Screw on each screwback ALL THE WAY. (It may pinch your ears a little at first, but that feeling goes away.)
Yes, I felt stupid when they told me. In my defense, how could I have known? Why would I want my ears to feel pinched?
