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 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. It's 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can babies wear screwback earrings?
Screwbacks can be worn as soon as your baby's piercing has fully healed, typically 6–8 weeks after piercing. Many parents choose them for babies and toddlers because the secure closure makes it much harder for the earring to come loose or be pulled off. Always follow your pediatrician's or piercer's guidance.
Are these earrings safe for sensitive ears?
Yes. 18K gold is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it one of the safest metals for sensitive skin.
Can screwback earrings be worn while sleeping?
The secure screw closure is designed to stay in place. As with any earring, check with your pediatrician or piercer for guidance on your child's specific situation.
