Threader Earrings

Threader earrings, also called ear threaders, are long earrings that consist of a thin chain or bar that slides through your ear piercing. The earring sits halfway through your lobe, so the jewelry adorns both the front and back of your ear.

Threader earrings are perfectly safe to wear. Similar to the dangling shape of drop earrings, they hang naturally below your earlobe and don't cause any obstruction to your daily activities. Instead of hanging on only one side of your ear, these earrings are designed to thread through the lobe and safely hang on both sides of your ear for an elegant look.

String earrings are a type of threader earring. They offer a simple design, usually featuring a delicate chain that is pulled through the earlobe. They can feature subtle details like chain-and-bar combinations, or gemstone touches like chic pearls. The chain-focused design makes these slinky earrings perfect for weaving through single or multiple piercings in the same ear.

The lightweight design of silver and gold threader earrings makes them a tempting choice for wearing to bed, but you may want to take these delicate earrings out before going to sleep. To preserve the integrity of your jewelry and properly care for it, we recommend removing your ear threaders before heading to bed.

Threader earrings are impressively on-trend. From the runways to Hollywood's biggest stars, the most fashion-savvy individuals are adopting the contemporary look of threader earrings.

To put on a pair of threader earrings, simply push one end of the earring through your ear piercing until the earring comfortably rests on either side of your earlobe. Typically, there are curves or designs that indicate the location of the middle of the earring. The middle is most commonly the part of the earring that should rest in your ear piercing, with each side dangling. If the earrings have different designs for each side, the more ornate or gemstone-focused side is generally the one you will want to wear on the outside of your earlobe farther from your neck. Straightforward metal gold or silver threader earrings can often be worn in either direction. When in doubt, wear your threader earrings in any direction that's comfortable, as they lend to more flexible styling.

Designed for lightweight wear, threader earrings should not pull on your earlobes.

These earrings are a unique take on dangling designs. Rather than relying on a traditional clasp or backing, threading earrings forgo those designs and instead use one continuous thread of metal to create the earring. The long design of these earrings makes them safely and comfortably dangle from the earlobe.
