Why You’ll Love Them
How to Find Your Size
Ordering the wrong post size is the #1 reason earring backs get returned — here’s how to get it right the first time: Sold as a Single: Each unit is one (1) individual earring back. Wearing two earrings? Add 2 to your cart to get a matching pair. Details
Die-Struck, Not Cast
Our replacement earring backs are die-struck, as opposed to cast. Die striking uses immense pressure to form precious metal into shape, producing a piece with higher gold density and superior strength and durability — a more secure hold for the earrings you love most. Cast jewelry, by contrast, uses a low-pressure mold process that results in a softer, lower-quality piece. Care Instructions
Clean gently with a soft jewelry cloth or mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals, chlorine, and abrasive cleaners to keep your solid gold earring backs looking their best. The Adora Promise: Solid 14K gold, die-struck for strength, precision-sized to fit your exact post. Shipped fast and ready to wear.

Never lose your earring backs again! Adora Fine Jewelry’s 14K Solid Gold Push-Back Earring Backs are precision-made replacements for friction posts (non-threaded, push-style posts) — the everyday standard on most stud and drop earrings. Available in warm 14K Yellow Gold or cool 14K White Gold, each back pushes securely into place for a comfortable, worry-free fit.
Why You’ll Love Them
- Solid 14K Gold (Yellow or White) — never plated, won’t tarnish or fade
- Push-back / friction-post design — simply push on for a secure, no-fuss fit
- Fits 0.036″ (19G / 0.91mm) friction posts with a 5.4mm Medium pad, sized for a comfortable everyday hold
- Hypoallergenic solid gold — gentle and skin-safe for sensitive ears
- Sold as a single — order 2 for a matching pair
Is This the Right Fit?
These backs are made for friction (push) posts — the smooth, non-threaded post found on most everyday stud and drop earrings — sized for a 0.036″ (19G / 0.91mm) post with a 5.4mm Medium pad. If your earring post is threaded (it twists to lock in place), you’ll want our Screw-Back Earring Back Replacement instead. Not sure which type you have? Look closely at the post — a threaded post has visible spiral grooves, while a friction post is smooth.

Push Back or Screw Back? How to Tell
Look closely at the post of your earring. A smooth post takes a push back (also called a friction or butterfly back). A post with fine spiral grooves, like a tiny screw, is a threaded post and needs a screw back. Screw backs will not stay on a smooth post, so check before you order. Not sure? Choose a universal locking back, which grips both styles.
Choosing the Right Size
Post size: our 14K screw backs come in .030" and .036" to match the two most common threaded posts. Our 14K push backs fit .036" (19 gauge) friction posts. If you don't know your post size, contact us and we'll help you pick the right one.
Pad size: the pad is the flat disc that rests against your ear. A larger pad (6 mm or more) gives more support to heavier studs and helps them face forward instead of drooping.
Earring Backs: Frequently Asked Questions
Are your 14K gold earring backs solid gold?
Yes. Our 14K push backs and screw backs are 100% solid 14K yellow or white gold, not plated or filled, so they won't wear through to another metal.
Do the 14K gold earring backs come as a pair?
No. Our 14K solid gold backs are sold individually, so you can replace just the one you lost. Order a quantity of 2 if you need a pair. Our universal sterling silver and stainless steel backs are sold in pairs.
Will screw backs fit my push back earrings?
No. Screw backs only fit threaded posts. For smooth posts, choose our 14K gold push backs or a universal locking back.
Which earring back is the most secure?
Screw backs are the most secure, because they lock onto a threaded post and can't be pushed off by accident. For smooth posts, a locking bullet back grips more firmly than a standard push back.
Will these backs fit earrings from another brand?
Usually, yes. Earring backs are sized by the post, not the brand. Match your post type (smooth or threaded) and size, or choose a universal back. If you're unsure, contact us before ordering.
