leverback
Leverback earrings are a version of clip on earrings. They stay put and are more comfortable to wear than some clip on types.
Leverback earrings are so called because they clip onto the ear using a lever-like mechanism at the back. The clip is thin. A lot more elegant looking than the old fashioned clip ons. In some cases, the leverback itself is a visible part of the earring design.
I used to make leverback earrings a long time ago... and wear them. Dangling a pendant or a stunning bead from a leverback finding gives you an easy to make a pretty earring. You can get leverback findings, beads and jewelry making supplies at great prices at Craftland.
Somehow, the ones you make yourself can't beat some of the stunning creations available online. Besides dangling earrings, leverback earrings can be worn in the place of earring studs. The only difference is that these clip onto your ear rather than pierce through your ear lobe.
Mirror mirror on the wall. What's the cheapest of them all? leverback?
