The Andralok fitting is a hinged earring design created to make earrings easier to wear and more comfortable for everyday use. Because the fitting uses a single integrated design, many people find it simpler than traditional earring backs.
What Makes This Hinged Earring Design Different?
Traditional stud earrings usually rely on butterfly backs or screw-on fastenings. However, this hinged design integrates the fastening directly into the earring itself. As a result, there are no separate parts to attach or remove.
Because fewer components are involved, wearing earrings often feels quicker and more straightforward. Therefore, this design is popular with people who wear earrings regularly.
How the Hinged Fitting Works
The Andralok fitting uses a post connected to a small hinge. First, the post passes through the ear piercing. The hinged section is then gently closed so the earring sits neatly in place.
The fitting relies on its shape and natural tension rather than a locking mechanism. As a result, the earring remains secure while still being easy to remove.
To remove the earring, light pressure is applied to the underside of the post. This action allows it to straighten and slide back through the piercing.

- No separate earring backs to handle
