Gold Leverback Earrings

Gold leverback earrings use a curved latch that closes behind the lobe instead of a push back, and Seattle Gold Grills sells them in 14K gold from its Renton, Washington store. The shop is a family of jewelers since 1976, serves Seattle and the Puget Sound area, and ships fully insured with a signature required.

Shop Leverback Earrings by Style

The leverback is the reason to buy this collection: the latch holds under a scarf, a helmet or a sleeping pillow, so the earring stays where you put it. Styles run from a simple drop to a shaped piece with a stone at the base. Pick the length first, then the shape. A short leverback reads like a stud from the front, while a longer one swings below the lobe. Check the wire thickness in the photos, because a heavier wire needs a piercing that has fully healed.

How Leverback Earrings Are Priced

These earrings are priced by metal, karat and size or stone, so see each listing for the current price. More 14K gold in the drop means a higher number, and a stone set into the base adds to it.

Care and Wear

Rinse the hinge with warm water when the latch starts to feel stiff, then open and close it a few times while it dries. Do not force a stuck lever, since the spring is the part that fails. Store them hooked onto a card so the drops do not tangle.
