Why We Created Our Screw-on Flat Back Stud Earrings

Watches have a rating system. Jewelry does not — which means "waterproof" on a jewelry page is whatever the brand decided it means. Here is how to work out what you are actually being told.

Three kinds of water, three different attacks. Chlorine, salt and sweat each damage jewelry in their own way — and the metal that shrugs off one is not always the metal that shrugs off another.

Solid gold, gold-filled, vermeil and gold-plated are four different things with four different lifespans, and in the US they are legally defined terms. Here is what each one means and what it buys you.

The honest answer is: for the first several weeks, whatever your piercer put in. Here is why changing early is the mistake people regret, how to know when a lobe is ready, and what to change into when it is.

"Surgical steel" has no fixed definition — several very different grades are sold under it, including some chosen for hardness rather than for sitting in a piercing. Here is what the grades mean and which number to look for.

If earrings make your lobes red and itchy a day later, it is almost certainly nickel. Here is how to tell it apart from ordinary piercing irritation, and how to decode the eight phrases a product page might use for metal.

Green skin is copper — not nickel, and not an allergy. Here is which metals do it, why plating only delays it, and why "what is it plated over" is a better question than "is it gold."

Hypoallergenic is not a regulated word — no US agency defines it for jewelry and nobody has to prove anything before printing it on a box. Here is what it actually points at, why the answer almost always comes down to nickel, and the four things to check on any product page.

The stocking stuffer problem is not finding something small. It is finding something small that is still being used in February. Jewelry is good at this for one specific reason.

A flat back stud is an earring with a smooth disc behind the lobe instead of a butterfly clutch. Here is the anatomy, the actual measurements, and why the back is what makes it an earring you can leave in.

There is no single right answer, and anyone who gives you one is telling you about their family rather than yours. Here are the considerations that actually decide it — and the one that matters more than age.

The jewelry that works on holiday is the jewelry you never take off — not mainly because of the water, but because the surest way to lose something is to put it down somewhere unfamiliar.

She is going to spend a hundred hours this season on a metal bleacher in the sun. That is the actual design brief, and it rules out most of what gets sold as a sports gift.
