Antique and vintage screw back earrings can take more time to put on than normal studs, however they are beneficial as they can be more comfortable than normal earrings and are often more secure. Unscrew and rescrew the back a couple of times to make sure you’re familiar with the motion before trying to insert it in the earlobe. The easiest way to fit the screw back earring is to hold the back right up to the back of the ear and then push the earring through the earlobe so it touches the back before screwing the front into the back.
Vintage earrings can be delicate, so cleaning them carefully is important. Create a mixture of mild washing up liquid and warm water and place your jewellery in for a minute, before brushing very gently with a soft toothbrush. If the earrings contain gemstones, such as vintage diamond or sapphire earrings, rather than soaking them just dip the toothbrush into the solution and use that to brush the earrings. Rinse well and leave to dry completely before putting them away. You can also use a soft dry cloth.
