How to Fix Loose OneTouch Earrings

【Why Do OneTouch Earrings Get Loose Over Time? Here’s a Simple Fix】
Have you ever noticed that your OneTouch (hinged) earrings no longer click tightly shut, or feel like they might fall off?
This is actually a very common issue.
OneTouch earrings rely on pressing the post into a small groove. Over time, frequent use causes metal fatigue, gradually pushing the post downward and making it hard to latch securely.
The good news?
If your earrings are made from 925 sterling silver, they can often be fixed with a gentle adjustment — since silver is a relatively soft and flexible metal.
【Easy Fix – Try This Method】
Open the earring and check if the post is angled downward.
Using your fingers, gently lift the post upward just a little bit.
Close the earring — if it clicks back into place, it’s fixed!
【Things to Keep in Mind】
Don’t force it.
Applying too much pressure can loosen or even break the post.
Make small, gradual adjustments with care.
If the problem persists after a few tries, consider seeking professional repair help.
