How to unfasten an earring?

When choosing earrings, we often pay attention to the design, shape and color composition. We are practically not interested in the type of fastener. He moves to the 2nd or 3rd plane. This approach may ultimately lead to difficulties in removing the new jewelry from the ear. To avoid them, learn in advance how to handle all common latch options.

What to do if the earring “does not open”?

First, it’s worth figuring out why this happened. If the trouble is caused by an unhealed injury to the lobe after it was pierced, then the secretions accumulated under the lock are to blame. They need to be removed, and then the latch will start working normally. Elimination is carried out through hygienic treatment. In a caring and disinfectant solution, soak cotton wool and carefully wipe the ear and earring with it. Upon completion of extraction, the processing is repeated.

If the problem is caused by other factors, then you need to do the following:

• call someone for help (let another person try to deal with the lock, and if that doesn’t work, then ask him to consider the reason for the jamming of the latch);
• use tweezers (use them carefully, otherwise you will scratch the metal of the jewelry);
• apply a little oil to the latch;
• try opening the lock with a disc soaked in alcohol or oil.

The last option is primarily addressed to those who cannot unfasten an earring with an English clasp. The design of the fixing element involves lifting the pin upward. This is done with the pad of the thumb. If you place a cotton pad between it and the pin, the area of ​​influence on the lock will increase, while reducing the load on the skin and finger.

Important! Manipulations with earrings - removing, putting on - should ideally be carried out only with clean hands. It is also worth taking care of your jewelry and cleaning it regularly. Compliance with these 2 rules will avoid irritation, reduce the likelihood of ear damage and infection from dirty earrings, and also prevent the lock from jamming due to dirt accumulated on its small elements.

If we are talking about an earring that was recently inserted in the salon during or after a piercing, then you need to act differently. Before removal, you should treat the earlobe and earrings, and then try to carefully remove the jewelry. If there is bleeding or you cannot remove the accessory, do not apply oil or use tweezers. You just need to contact the specialist who performed the puncture. He will figure out the reason for the delayed healing and take adequate measures.

The nuances of unfastening an English lock

Sequence of steps:

• hold the shvenzel with the fingers of 1 hand;
• pull it down a little;
• lift the frame up with the thumb of the 2nd hand;
• remove the pin from the hole in the lobe.

A common mistake is using only 1 hand. With this approach to opening, the index finger is placed on the top of the link, and the pin is pushed up with the thumb. There is no need to act this way, it can lead to the curvature of the earring. A change in the natural shape, in turn, is fraught with jamming of the frame in the hole of the link.

Other useful notes:

1. act carefully, do not rush;
2. do not use a lot of force (especially if the earring is made of gold - the metal is soft and bends easily);
3. do not use the nail plate (you can accidentally drive the nail deep under the nail or break the manicure);
4. If you can’t remove it, soak the disc in alcohol or oil, place it on the pad of your thumb and try to slide the pin through the disc.

You also need to remember that Jewelry with an English lock is generally not suitable for women with very wide lobes. This is because the frame of the earring is first inserted into the ear, and only then serves as part of the fixing element. If you ignore this rule, then any manipulations with the accessory - removing, putting on, wearing - will cause discomfort and not proceed as expected.

How to remove the cuff?

First, let's look at the types of cuffs. This is necessary because earrings are distinguished by the fixing element. Existing options:

• cuff-arc (placed on the ear, held in place due to the shape and arch that fits the posterior base of the auricle);
• caffa-stud (one part of the earring is inserted into a hole or several holes, and the other is secured by a cuff);
• cuff cuff (held in place by a clip, clings to the edge of the ear).

If there are studs, first unfasten all the cuffs.Before loosening the latter, you should hold the jewelry so that it does not hang and pull off the puncture site. If the design includes an arch, then first move it, and then remove the part of the earring placed on the ear.

With 1 large one, covering most of the ear, you should hold the jewelry with one hand, and move the fingers of the other towards the flap of the fixing element.

Unfasten the loop earring

There are 2 types of loop earrings. One is not fixed in any way at the opposite end; it is held on the ear due to the long length of the earpiece and a slight rounding on it (may be absent). The second has the tip threaded into the hook.

The first option is easy to remove. You need to pull the lobe down a little and remove the jewelry from it. In this case, sudden movements should be avoided, since the elongated wire can damage the ear from a jerk.

The loop earring with hook is removed differently:

• the thumb is placed on the back of the loop, and the index finger on the front;
• the earring is slightly compressed (because of this, the gap between the walls of the loop is reduced);
• use the fingertip of the second hand to lower the hook down;
• remove the jewelry from the earlobe in the same way as in the case of a regular loop earring.

Important! When you squeeze the jewelry, do not apply much force, otherwise the accessory will deform very quickly.

How to unfasten a stud earring correctly?

Sequencing:

• between the fingers of 1 hand, hold the front part of the earring;
• with the other hand, grab the “cork” - the back of the lock;
• extract it.

If we are talking about studs that were installed during the puncture, then you need to thoroughly wash your hands before removing them., and also treat the ear with a caring agent after removal.
