Understanding Threading


Internal Thread

Internally Threaded

What it means: The post is smooth, and the little screw is inside the jewelry.

Why customers like it:

  • Feels smoother when putting it in
  • Easier to handle
  • Higher-quality construction
External Thread

Externally Threaded

What it means: The screw threads are on the outside of the post.

Why customers care:

  • You twist the whole piece in
  • It's usually the budget version
  • Works fine for healed piercings, just not as smooth to insert
Threadless

Threadless

What it means: No screw at all. The post is smooth, and the top has a tiny pin that bends slightly to hold it in place.

Why customers love it:

  • Super easy to put in and take out
  • No twisting
  • Very secure once it's in
