These 14K Solid Gold Screw-Back Earring Back Replacements are precision die-struck for a secure, comfortable fit on threaded earring posts (adult-size posts). Available in two post thicknesses — .030″ (21 Gauge / 0.76mm) and .036″ (19 Gauge / 0.91mm) — and two pad sizes for the perfect hold, every back threads on and off smoothly so your studs, hoops, and drop earrings stay put all day. Why You’ll Love Them Solid 14K Gold (Yellow or White) — never plated, won’t tarnish or fade Die-struck, not cast — higher gold density and superior strength versus cast alternatives Threaded screw-on / screw-off design for a secure, adjustable hold 2 post sizes: .030″ (21G / 0.76mm) or .036″ (19G / 0.91mm) 2 pad sizes per post: Light (5.4mm) or Standard (6.1–6.4mm, varies by post size) for extra hold on heavier earrings Hypoallergenic solid gold — gentle and skin-safe for sensitive ears Sold as a single — order 2 for a matching pair How to Find Your Size Ordering the wrong post size is the #1 reason earring backs get returned — here’s how to get it right the first time: Measure the post: If you have a jeweler’s loupe or digital caliper, measure the post diameter directly. 0.76mm means you need a .030″ (21G) back; 0.91mm means you need a .036″ (19G) back. No caliper? Ask your jeweler: Most fine jewelry studs use the standard .030″ (21G) post. Heavier drop earrings or larger gemstone studs more often use the thicker .036″ (19G) post. Choose your pad: A Light pad (5.4mm) sits closer to the ear for a low-profile look. A Standard pad (6.1mm on .036″ posts, 6.4mm on .030″ posts) gives extra surface area and stability — a better match for heavier or larger earrings. Still unsure?

Details Style: Screw On / Screw Off Post Type: Threaded Post Metal: Solid 14K Gold (Yellow or White) Sold As: Single piece (1 earring back per unit) Construction: Die-Struck (not cast) for superior strength and gold density Die-Struck, Not Cast Our replacement earring backs are die-struck, as opposed to cast. Die striking uses immense pressure to form precious metal into shape, producing a piece with higher gold density and superior strength and durability — a more secure hold for the earrings you love most. Cast jewelry, by contrast, uses a low-pressure mold process that results in a softer, lower-quality piece. Care Instructions Clean gently with a soft jewelry cloth or mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners to keep your solid gold earring backs looking their best. The Adora Promise: Solid 14K gold, die-struck for strength, precision-sized to fit your exact post. Shipped fast and ready to wear.
