Why Flatback Earrings Are the Best for Everyday Wear
When it comes to jewellery you never want to take off, comfort matters just as much as beauty. That’s exactly why flatback earrings have become the go-to choice for modern, everyday wear.
At Remi & Nico, we design solid 14k gold flatback earrings with real life in mind - pieces you can sleep in, work in, and live in, without irritation or compromise.
What Are Flatback Earrings?
Flatback earrings feature a smooth, flat disc on the back of the post rather than a traditional butterfly backing. They’re secured with a threaded or push-fit post, creating a snug, low-profile fit against the ear.
This design is widely favoured in fine piercing studios and luxury jewellery for its balance of comfort, security, and longevity.
Unmatched Comfort — Day and Night
One of the biggest advantages of flatback earrings is how comfortable they feel, even after hours (or days) of wear.
Unlike butterfly backs that can dig into your skin, flatbacks sit flush against the ear, making them ideal for:
-
Sleeping
-
Wearing under headphones
-
All-day work or active lifestyles
-
Sensitive or healing piercings
Many of our customers tell us they forget they’re even wearing earrings — which is exactly the point.
Perfect for Sensitive Ears
Flatback earrings are often paired with solid gold posts, reducing friction and irritation. At Remi & Nico, all our earrings are crafted in solid 14k gold, making them suitable for sensitive ears and long-term wear.
They’re also easier to keep clean, which helps minimise irritation over time.
Secure Enough for Everyday Life
Because flatback earrings screw or lock into place, they’re far less likely to loosen or fall out than traditional studs. This makes them ideal for:
-
Busy days
-
Travel
-
Parenting
-
Wearing jewellery 24/7
Security doesn’t need to come at the expense of elegance — flatback earrings deliver both.
Minimal Look, Maximum Style
Flatback earrings offer a refined, modern silhouette. With no bulky backing, the focus stays on the front of the earring — whether that’s a diamond solitaire, pearl, or sculptural gold design.
This clean look makes them perfect for:
-
First, second, or multiple piercings
-
Stacking and layering
-
Timeless, everyday styling
