When it's time for your child's first pair of earrings, safety and comfort matter as much as style. Our screwback earrings are crafted in genuine 18K gold — a hypoallergenic, nickel-free metal that's gentle on sensitive, newly-pierced ears and safe for everyday wear.
Why Screwback Closures?
Unlike friction or push backs, a screwback twists securely into place, making it far more difficult for little hands to pull loose — a favorite choice among parents for babies, toddlers, and active kids. It stays snug through naps, playtime, and daily wear without pinching or slipping.
Why 18K Gold?
18K gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold than 14K or gold-plated alternatives, which means less exposure to the alloy metals (like nickel) that commonly trigger irritation or allergic reactions in children. It's also more tarnish-resistant, so the earrings keep their shine for years — making them a piece your child can wear well into their teens.

Are these earrings safe for sensitive or newly-pierced ears?
Yes — 18K gold is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it one of the safest metals for sensitive skin and healing piercings.
Can screwback earrings be worn while sleeping?
The secure screw closure is designed to stay in place, though as with any earring, check your pediatrician's or piercer's guidance for your child's specific situation.
