Lever Back

A lever back is a type of earring closure that provides a secure fit for the wearer, often used in drop or dangle earrings.

Part of speech: noun
Definition: Lever back earrings feature a hinged post that snaps into place, ensuring the earring stays securely in the ear without the need for additional fasteners. This style of closure is preferred for its comfort and security, making it an ideal choice for everyday wear and reducing the risk of losing an earring. Lever backs are particularly popular in drop or dangle earring designs, as they allow for free movement while maintaining stability. The design not only offers practical benefits but also contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the earrings, with the lever itself sometimes being incorporated into the overall design.
