Flat pad with post earrings for jewelry making are used to create dangles for all types of jewelry including, but not limited to, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and anklets. When choosing a flat pad with post earring, it is important to pay attention to the thickness of the metal from which it is made. Earrings that are made from more delicate metals such as sterling silver will have a smaller flat pad with post earring in order for the wearer’s ears not to be scratched or injured. A flat pad with post earring is an example of a flush backed earring. Flush backed or flat back earrings have backs that are flush with the rest of the metal. This allows them to lie more smoothly against the wearer’s ears and hide behind more hairstyles and hair colors. You can check out our sterling silver findings collection for your jewelry designs!
