What is Threadless Jewelry?

Evolution in Body Piercing Jewelry:

Long gone are the days when body piercing jewelry was confined to inexpensive, and often harmful, materials. In today's era, we have an abundance of options featuring top-tier, hypoallergenic metals such as implant-grade titanium and solid 14k gold. These materials not only offer an attractive aesthetic but also prioritize comfort. The rise in popularity of fine solid gold jewelry has set a new standard for piercing jewelry, allowing it to complement individual styles.

At Paradise, our diverse collection encompasses a wide array of solid 14k gold body jewelry, including threadless flatback posts. Threadless jewelry distinguishes itself from the traditional butterfly backings and presents several advantages, especially for jewelry intended for extended wear over days, weeks, or even years.

Understanding Threadless Body Jewelry:

To grasp the concept of threadless body jewelry available at Paradise, it's essential to familiarize oneself with two prevalent types of body jewelry: externally threaded and internally threaded.

  • Externally Threaded Jewelry:

    • In the piercing industry, avoiding externally threaded body jewelry is a common practice due to the potential use of nickel-heavy metals, which may trigger adverse skin reactions, even in those not typically sensitive to nickel.
    • Additionally, externally threaded jewelry may not glide smoothly through the piercing, potentially causing trauma and providing a breeding ground for bacteria.

  • Internally Threaded Jewelry:

    • Internally threaded body jewelry is deemed safe for all piercings, as the threads reside inside the post/barbell, allowing the jewelry to pass through the piercing without causing harm.

  • Threadless Body Jewelry:

    • Threadless body jewelry, the favored standard at Paradise, offers a secure alternative to internally threaded jewelry and presents additional benefits.
    • This form of jewelry, as the name implies, lacks threads and is secured through tension generated when the pin of the decorative end is bent and firmly pressed into the tube back, often referred to as the flatback post.

Wearing Threadless Jewelry:

  • Connection Mechanism:

    • The term "threadless" relates to the connection method, eliminating the need for threads. The decorative head boasts a sturdy pin that fits into the post. The tension resulting from the pin's bend within the post effectively holds the jewelry together.

  • Safety Feature:

    • Threadless jewelry incorporates a safety feature. In the event the jewelry gets snagged on something, the connection is designed to separate before causing any harm to the skin.

  • Easy Removal:

    • Removing threadless jewelry is hassle-free, as it requires no turning. Simply stabilize the post and gently pull the head away from it.

Benefits of Opting for Threadless Body Jewelry:

  • Safety and Comfort:

    • Threadless body jewelry guarantees a safe and comfortable experience for both ear and body piercings. The high-polish post facilitates a smooth and gentle passage through any piercing.

  • Security and Comfort:

    • This type of jewelry ensures a secure fit, preventing accidental dislodging when worn correctly. Additionally, it offers a comfortable, flush fit against the skin, unlike many protruding butterfly backs.

  • Customization and Versatility:

    • Threadless jewelry opens up a world of possibilities for mixing and matching decorative tops, ranging from ball ends and trims to diamonds, gemstones, and dangles, enabling individuals to express their unique style.

  • Practicality and Versatility:

    • With just one back for a single piercing, wearers can effortlessly switch between various decorative ends, creating a versatile and ready-to-wear collection.

Tips for Utilizing Threadless Jewelry:

  • Compatibility:

    • It's crucial to note that threadless jewelry is compatible exclusively with threadless posts, and vice versa. Regular earring stud posts cannot be inserted into a threadless tube, as they are neither compatible nor flexible like the pin on threadless ends.

  • Optimal Piercings:

    • Threadless posts are most suitable for specific piercings, including ear lobes, various ear cartilage piercings, nostrils, and lips.

  • Post Quality:

    • Our posts are meticulously crafted from solid ASTM F-136 implant-grade titanium, ensuring durability, hypoallergenic properties, and safety for sensitive skin. The mirror finish on these posts prevents bacterial growth and infections.

  • Comfort and Aesthetics:

    • Flatback posts contribute to a clean and appealing look for your ear jewelry collection. They ensure comfort during sleep and eliminate discomfort caused by butterfly backs catching or poking.
