Maintenance & Care

Just like eyeglasses or jewelry, Chrysmela needs regular cleaning in order to keep its locking power. Follow these steps every 4-6 weeks to keep your Chrysmela in optimum condition.

  1. Soak
    Soak in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap for a few minutes. Use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for even better results.
  2. Clean inside
    Use a small size soft interdental brush (0.6 to 1mm:  0.8mm is best). Insert the brush just like an earring post. Then, unlock Chrysmela and pull the brush gently. Rinse and repeat 2-3 times.

Patented double-locking technology

Chrysmela Catch’s primary locking mechanism is through three micro ball bearings that grip the post firmly and stay in position until unlocked. The second mechanism is a safety catch that grips firmly onto the notch at the back of the post.

Quick, easy and comfortable to wear

After struggling with expensive, uncomfortable and often unreliable alternatives (or choosing not to wear their favorite earrings at all!), our customers always comment on how easy it is to wear Chrysmela Catch.

Simply push it through any earring post and feel it snap into place. To unlock, slide the tip of your fingernail under the top plate and gently pull away from the earring back. Once unlocked, Chrysmela Catch slides right off. Watch a video.

Once in place, Chrysmela Catch is so comfortable that you can wear it in your sleep – most of our customers do! Read Chrysmela Catch reviews.

Instant lift for heavy earrings and delicate skin

When purchasing Chrysmela Catch, you can choose to add optional complimentary discs to lift heavier earrings or provide more support to delicate earlobes.

Discs are easy to use: if you select Chrysmela Catch with discs, the discs will already come attached and you simply wear Chrysmela instead of your regular earring backs.

If you're buying the discs separately and want to apply them to your existing Chrysmela, place each disc on a flat surface with Chrysmela on top and press down squarely until they click.

One pair for all your post earrings

Chrysmela Catch fits most 0.6-1.1mm post earrings and, when cared for (see instructions here!), they will last you a really long time.

Our customers love that they can use the same pair for all their earrings or, if they wear different tones of jewelry, they can simply purchase a pair in each color.

Hypoallergenic with 99.9% purity

Chrysmela Catch is made with the finest surgical stainless steel and, depending on the selected color, is coated in 99.9% purity platinum or gold.

How to remove Chrysmela Catch Earring Backs

Frequently asked questions

How secure is Chrysmela Catch?

Chrysmela holds your earring securely in 2 ways: 

First: While invisible, 3 micro ball bearings are working hard to hold tight onto the earring posts when your earlobe is “sandwiched” between the earring and the back. So it may feel “normal” or “nothing special,” but rest assured, they are very secure.

Second: if your earring gets caught in your hair or sweater and moves,  Chrysmela firmly grips onto the little notch at the end of your earring post - this acts as a safety net. 

Does it work with any earring?

Chrysmela replaces all types of earring backs, for straight earring posts 0.6-1.1mm in diameter. This is the widest range of support in the world.

Does Chrysmela Catch work for my screw back earrings?

Yes! Chrysmela works beautifully on screw posts. You may like to apply Chrysmela on "unlocked" position, to avoid frictions against the treads on the posts.

Do I need discs?

When purchasing Chrysmela Catch, you can choose to add optional complimentary discs to lift heavier earrings or provide more support to delicate earlobes.

Discs are easy to use: simply slot Chrysmela Catch into the disc and wear as normal.

As our discs are made from PVC, these may develop wear and tear over time. You can purchase extra discs here to keep enjoying your earrings in their best light!

What about Chrysmela Extra?

Chrysmela Catch, with or without the support disc, are the identical earring lock. We introduced the with-disc version, previously called Chrysmela Extra, to anwer requests for added support for heavier earrings and delicate ear lobes with a slit (rather than round hole) piercing. The discs are removable, and if detached, we offer replacements.

The best earring backs EVER!!!

These are the BEST earring backs ever created...Everyone should have them.

Perfect design!

I found these through a review from @jewelboxing on tiktok, and I'm so glad I tried them! I have a pair of diamond earrings that were a gift, and I thought they would be secure because they came with threaded screw-on backs but one of the backs fell off awhile ago- thankfully I only lost the back and not the earring, but I panicked and haven't worn them since. I've now been wearing the Chrysmela backs with my diamond earrings 24/7 for a week, including showering and sleeping in them, and they feel so secure and comfortable! Truly a great design and the perfect solution to secure valuable earrings or just make your everyday earrings more comfortable. I highly recommend these, and will probably buy more to replace my other earring backs!

Excellent gift for those who have everything

I love my Chrysmela earring backs. I've give several pairs as gifts and they are so well received.
As much as I assume everyone has heard of these locking backs, I find they have not.

Wow - seriously impressed

Really amazing, strong backs. They hold up my large 6ct studs perfectly without drooping.
