Frequently asked questions about the product

What kinds of earrings does a 3 mm flat-pad earring post work best for?

The 3 mm pad works best for small stud earrings where the decorative piece is lightweight and flat-backed. Good uses include small glass cabochons, resin pieces, crystals, flat beads, polymer clay jewelry, and other small embellishments that can be glued directly onto the metal pad.

If the decorative piece is clearly wider, heavier, or uneven, choose a style with a larger pad instead, for example the 6 mm-pad earring posts.

How is the decorative piece attached to the earring post?

The decorative piece is attached by gluing it onto the post's flat 3 mm pad. Clean both the earring post's pad and the back of the piece before gluing, so the surface is free of grease, dust, or sanding residue. Use a strong glue suited for jewelry making, and let it cure undisturbed according to the manufacturer's instructions before wearing or packaging the piece.

If you're making polymer clay or resin stud earrings for sale, for example, the attachment can be reinforced if needed by covering the post's pad with a thin layer of resin on the back of the piece.

Do earring backs need to be ordered separately for these posts?

Yes. These earring posts are supplied without backs, so you'll need suitable earring backs separately. All the earring backs in our range fit these posts.

Are earring posts made of stainless steel 304 suitable for sensitive skin?

These earring posts are made of stainless steel 304. Steely Pop's jewelry findings are nickel-safe, REACH compliant, and tested in Finland, so they're well suited to sensitive skin as well as to jewelry makers who want to use safe, reliable materials.

Stainless steel is well tolerated by most people, but individual sensitivity can vary. If you're making jewelry for sale, it's a good idea to state the material to customers precisely as "stainless steel 304".

Frequently Asked Questions About Materials and Safety

Are Steely Pop's jewelry findings compliant with EU safety requirements?

Yes. The products in our range meet the chemical restrictions applied to jewelry in the EU (such as the limits on nickel release and the thresholds for lead and cadmium).

What is surgical steel, and is it safe?

The term "surgical steel" is a general name for a group of stainless steel grades with especially good properties for skin contact. Surgical steel is widely considered one of the safest jewelry materials. Steely Pop's jewelry findings are made from steel grades 304, 316, and 316L, which are often referred to as surgical steel.

Can stainless steel cause symptoms in people with nickel allergies?

Stainless steels are well tolerated by most people and are suitable even for sensitive skin. Individual sensitivity varies, however, and some people may still experience allergic symptoms from stainless steel.

Are Steely Pop's findings tested?

Yes. Testing is part of our quality control, and we regularly commission laboratory tests to ensure jewelry safety.

What does the REACH Regulation mean?
