HOW TO REMOVE SCREW BACK EARRINGS
When you’re ready to remove the earring, you will need to use both of your hands. Make sure to hold on to the front of the earring, so it doesn’t get lost. Now, grab the other end in a similar way. Twist in the appropriate direction, until the backing is completely freed.
When twisting the screw back please make sure that it is tightened up to the full stop and doesn’t loosen freely at the end of the earring.
Be careful to avoid dropping or banging as physical impacts can result in damage!
Please note that the piercings are very robust but small in size. Try to always hold the earring with both hands and take it off and put it on in a place where, if it falls, you can find it.
USEFUL TIPS WHEN TO GO JEWELLERY-FREE
Going swimming – No matter if you are going swimming in a sea or in a pool, leave the jewellery at home. Sweat, salt and chlorine water all damage the jewellery. Soap can also leave a film which makes the metal seem dull.
Putting on sunscreen – Applying sunscreen means that your jewellery will get at least one coat of it, which will kill its shine and make it dewy.
On direct sun – Exposure to the direct sun rays damages the jewellery, making it look bleached.
In cold water – Cold water makes the fingers shrink, which is the main reason why the rings slip off easily and get lost.
Doing gardening – Gardening, especially dirt and the rocks damage the jewellery. The abrasives will leave permanent damage.
DIAMOND HOOP CLICKERS
These durable, yet delicate hoops require a gentle hand when opening and closing to ensure a long life span. Please note that you can carefully open the hoop to 180 degrees for an easier assemble. Like all wonderful things in life there is a knack to operating this clicker mechanism. We advise that when you put them into your ear, rather then squeeze it shut, you need to gently close the hoop until you hear/feel the clicker click.
HUGGIE HOOP CLICKERS
These durable, yet delicate hoops require a gentle hand when opening and closing to ensure a long life span. Like all wonderful things in life there is a knack to operating this clicker mechanism. We advise that when you put them into your ear, rather then squeeze it shut, you need to gently close the hoop until you hear/feel the clicker click.
When worn with a charm, please ensure on removal of the hoop that the charm sits on the solid arc allowing you to easily unclick the mechanism.
WHAT IS PUSH-FIT SYSTEM IN PIERCINGS?
Push Pin flat back earrings have a top with a thin, slightly bended pin which allows to stay securely in place inside the hollow post.
HOW TO PUT IT ON:
1. Insert the back hollow post into your ear from the back of the ear.
2. Insert the pin halfway into the post from the front.
3. Gently apply pressure from both ends.
HOW TO TAKE IT OFF:
1. Pull both ends of the earring in opposite directions (If you are having trouble taking off your jewelry, twist the pin while you pull.)
Please remember that cartilage earrings are small and must be handled with care. We advise you to try opening and closing the earring in your hands to feel how it works before putting it into your ear for the first time.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PIERCINGS
Choosing jewellery for a first piercing is obviously quite different from shopping for a jewellery suitable for healed piercings. Because body jewellery is worn inside a wound and is in contact with your internal tissues, only certain products are suitable.
The look of the jewellery that is placed in your fresh piercing must be secondary to aspects that affect safety and compatibility with your body. The size, style, material, and quality of the initial piece of jewellery all affect your ability to heal.
Remember that the piercing location is fixed, but the jewellery can be changed after you have successfully healed. Consider this brochure “Jewelry For Initial Piercings” from Association of Professional Piercers when selecting body jewellery for a new piercing:
After your piercing has healed, you have countless options to replace your jewellery when all of the following conditions are met:
• It is not tender
• The minimum initial healing time has passed
•Your piercing is no longer secreting and getting crusty
Here is some information from Association of Professional Piercers when you are ready to get your jewellery for healed piercing:
