Discover the Perfection of Flatback Earrings
Seeking earrings that master the blend of comfort and style? Our handcrafted flatback earrings might be your new favourite. Lovingly crafted in Portugal by skilled artisans, these pieces offer superior comfort and timeless elegance. Unlike traditional butterfly backs, our flatbacks sit flush against your ear, delivering exceptional security without compromising on looks.
The flatback mechanism features a smooth disc that holds your earring securely in place, eliminating the discomfort of standard earrings. Whether you need everyday essentials or statement pieces, our flatback collection offers beauty with practicality. Made from premium materials like sterling silver, gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil, and solid gold options in 9k and 14k, these earrings are designed to complement any style while providing the quality you deserve.
Everyday Elegance: The Flatback Choice
Flatback earrings are the epitome of form meeting function. Their sleek profile sits comfortably against the ear, making them perfect for active lifestyles and undisturbed rest. The smooth backing won't snag on clothing, hair, or scarves and avoids irritating your neck. Their comfort and security make them ideal for everyday wear, sleeping, and even exercising.
For cartilage piercings, flatbacks offer superior comfort compared to traditional backs. Their streamlined design distributes pressure evenly, reducing discomfort. Many of our customers have found that switching to flatbacks transforms their piercing experience, allowing for comfortable wear day and night. The secure screw mechanism ensures your precious earrings stay safely in place during all activities.
High-Quality Materials for Flatback Earrings
Our commitment to quality begins with exceptional materials. Each flatback earring is crafted from sterling silver, gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil, or solid gold in 9k and 14k options. This range allows you to select the perfect match for your style and budget without compromising on quality.
Sterling silver flatbacks offer a classic, versatile option with a bright lustre that complements any outfit. Our gold vermeil and rose gold vermeil options feature a thick layer of precious metal over sterling silver, offering the luxurious appearance of solid gold at a more accessible price point. For those seeking the ultimate in luxury and longevity, our 9k and 14k solid gold flatbacks represent an heirloom-quality investment.
All our flatback earrings are hypoallergenic, making them ideal for sensitive ears. Unlike lower-quality alternatives, our carefully selected materials resist tarnishing and maintain their beautiful finish through daily wear. With proper care—gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and storage in a dry place—your TinyBox flatback earrings will retain their exquisite appearance for years to come.
Perfect for Cartilage Piercings
Flatback earrings are particularly advantageous for cartilage piercings. The smooth disc back evenly distributes pressure, eliminating discomfort often caused by traditional backs. This design is exceptionally comfortable for sensitive areas, allowing for extended wear.
For active lifestyles, flatback earrings remain securely in place during workouts, swimming, or other physical activities. Their low-profile design won’t catch on equipment. The secure fit is especially beneficial during healing and for long-term wear. The flat disc reduces the risk of snagging or accidental removal. Most importantly, flatback earrings eliminate pressure points, making them ideal for all-day wear.
Choosing Your Ideal Flatback Earrings
Flatback earrings offer a superior alternative to traditional designs with a flat disc that sits snugly against the back of your ear. At TinyBox, our flatback earrings are meticulously handcrafted in Portugal, using premium materials such as sterling silver, gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil, and solid gold options in both 9k and 14k. Their design enhances comfort, especially during sleep, and provides greater security for active lifestyles. Whether you seek everyday essentials or standout pieces, our flatback earrings blend elegant aesthetics with practical wearability.
Essential Features for Your Perfect Flatback Earring
When selecting flatback earrings, several key features ensure quality and comfort. Our sterling silver and gold options are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant. The thickness of the post is crucial for balancing durability with comfort. Our flatbacks feature well-sized posts to meet your standards.
The flat disc backing should rest smoothly without pressure points. Premium flatbacks, like ours, feature polished edges to prevent irritation. The threading system is precise and secure.
High-quality flatback earrings retain their lustre longer. Our commitment to Portuguese craftsmanship ensures meticulous attention to detail, meaning your flatback earrings will remain beautiful and functional for years with proper care.
Tips for Finding Your Perfect Earring Fit
Discovering your ideal flatback earring fit involves understanding your ear anatomy and preferences. For earlobe piercings, our standard 6-8mm post lengths suit most. Cartilage piercings often require shorter posts (5-6mm). If you have thicker earlobes, consider longer post options.
Disc diameter is also important. Smaller discs (3mm) offer discreet support, while larger ones (4-5mm) provide more stability. When trying flatback earrings, you’ll appreciate their secure fit. To remove them, use a gentle twisting motion.
For cleaning, use warm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. While flatbacks may initially cost more, their durability, comfort, and security offer long-term value.
Caring for Your Flatback Earrings
Proper care ensures your handcrafted flatback earrings from TinyBox remain exquisite. Our premium flatback earrings, crafted in Portugal from sterling silver, gold vermeil, rose gold vermeil, and solid gold (9k and 14k), deserve careful attention.
Flatback earrings offer superior comfort, ideal for cartilage piercings. The secure, flat disc ensures your earrings stay in place throughout daily activities. Our hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant materials provide lasting brilliance with minimal upkeep.
Maintenance Tips:
For everyday care, gently wipe your flatback earrings with a soft cloth after wearing. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft brush. Rinse and dry completely. Limit exposure to chemicals for gold vermeil and rose gold vermeil pieces.
For professional maintenance, we recommend a jeweller's polishing cloth. Store your flatbacks separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches.
