What are Ear Nuts?
Ear nuts, also called as earring backs or push earring backs. The ear nuts on our website are designed with a hole in the center, so you can push and slide them onto the earring posts or ear wires to keep your earrings securely in place on your ears.
Different Styles of Ear Nuts
Friction Ear Nuts
- Friction ear nuts, also called as butterfly ear nuts, use the tension of the metal to hold the posts firmly. With a hole in the middle of the base plate, you can slide the friction ear nut onto the post until it touches the earlobe, making it very easy to put on and take off.
- Butterfly ear nuts will bring beautiful back design to your earrings and are mainly fit for stud earrings.
- Please note that it can easily lose its grip on the post after prolonged use.
Bullet Ear Nuts
- Bullet ear nuts are made of metal and often lined with soft rubber, which makes them fixed onto the posts securely.
- The bullet earring backs will be fixed tightly on the posts, making them very secure and comfortable to wear.
- They are mainly fit for post earrings and hook earrings.
Bell Ear Nuts

Difference Between Ion Plating (IP) and PVD Vacuum Plating
Difference Between Ion Plating (IP)
and PVD Vacuum Plating
Our stainless steel jewelry undergoes three types of electroplating processes: PVD vacuum plating, ion plating (IP), and water electroplating. Vacuum plating, also known as physical vapor deposition (PVD), is a surface treatment technology. This process involves evaporating or sputtering metal or non-metal materials under vacuum conditions and depositing them onto the surface of the object to create a thin film. PVD technology includes various coating methods, with ion plating (IP) being one of them. Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition.
The thickness of the plating layer is influenced by the electroplating process and duration. The longer the plating time, the thicker the layer becomes, resulting in longer color preservation.
Below is a brief comparison of the color durability of Ion Plating, PVD Vacuum Plating, and Water Galvanization.
| Electroplating Process | Feature | Metal Color | Color Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Electroplating | Stainless steel is a non-reactive metal, which means it does not oxidize or tarnish like other metals such as silver or brass. Hypoallergenic. | Stainless Steel Color | Tarnish resistant, retain its color for a long time |
| Vacuum Ion Plating(IP) | The vacuum plating process is complex and requires specific environmental and equipment conditions, making it a green, environmentally friendly technology. The plating is done in a vacuum oven, resulting in longer color retention and a durable coating. |
