Earring Washer 50 Pcs – Metal Earring Backs for Resin Jewellery Making, Handmade Earrings & Accessories India

What Are Earring Washers?

Earring Washers — also called earring backs, ear nuts, or butterfly backs — are the small metal components that slide onto the post of a stud or drop earring and hold it securely in place against the earlobe. Each packet from THE CRAFT STATION MOLDS contains 50 pieces, giving you a generous supply for individual earring projects, batch production, or workshop kits. If you are casting resin earrings — pendants, studs, hoops, or teardrop drops — earring washers are the final finishing component that transforms a cured resin piece into a wearable accessory. Lightweight, easy to apply, and compatible with standard earring posts, these silver-toned metal earring backs are a must-have jewellery supply for every resin artist and handmade accessories maker. In stock and available with same-day delivery in Jammu and free shipping above ₹2,599 across India.

How Earring Washers Work

Earring washers use a simple butterfly-grip mechanism. After inserting the earring post through the earlobe or finishing a handmade earring assembly, push the washer firmly onto the post from behind. The two wing-like prongs grip the post tightly and prevent the earring from slipping off. To remove, gently squeeze the wings inward and slide the washer off the post. The butterfly back design is the most universally used earring fastener in handmade jewellery because it requires no tools, works on posts from 0.6mm to 0.9mm diameter, and can be reused across multiple pairs of earrings.

How to Use — Assembling Resin Drop Earrings (Step-by-Step)

Follow these five steps to complete a pair of resin drop earrings from casting through to the finished wearable piece using silicone molds from our silicone molds collection.

1. Cast the resin pieces: Mix epoxy resin in a 3:1 ratio (Part A to Part B by volume) and pour into a small teardrop, hexagon, or round pendant mold. Optionally add mica powder pigment, glitter, or dried flowers for decoration. Cure undisturbed for 24–48 hours.
2. Demold: Gently flex the silicone mold walls to release the cured resin pieces. If any edges are sharp, sand lightly with 400-grit sandpaper. Apply a UV resin top coat and cure under a UV lamp for a glass-like finish if desired.
3. Drill the hole: Using a pin vise or small hand drill with a 1mm drill bit, carefully drill a hole at the top of each resin piece. Drill slowly and steadily to avoid cracking. Blow away dust and rinse the piece.
4. Attach earring hardware: Open a small jump ring with flat-nose pliers, thread it through the drilled hole, and close it firmly. Attach an earring hook, dangle chain, or stud post through the jump ring depending on your earring style.
5. Add earring washer: For stud-style earrings where a post is embedded directly in the resin (embed the post during the partial-gel stage of casting), push one Earring Washer from this packet firmly onto the post from behind. Press until the butterfly wings grip the post securely. Your earring is complete and ready to wear or pack for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many earring washers are included in one packet?

Each packet contains 50 earring washers — enough for 25 pairs of earrings. For workshops or batch production, multiple packets can be ordered; WhatsApp us at +91 97971 37137 for bulk pricing.

What size earring post do these washers fit?

These butterfly backs are designed for standard earring posts in the 0.6mm–0.9mm diameter range, which is the most common size used in handmade and commercial jewellery. If you are embedding posts directly into resin during casting, ensure you use standard-sized jewellery posts available from jewellery supply stores.

Can I reuse earring washers?

Yes — butterfly back earring washers can be reused multiple times by gently squeezing the wings inward to remove and then pressing firmly back onto a post to reattach. Over time, repeated use may slightly loosen the grip, so it is good practice to replace washers after several uses or when you notice the earring feels loose.

How do I embed an earring post directly into a resin casting?

Pour your resin into the mold and wait until it reaches the partial-gel stage (thick honey consistency, approximately 30–50 minutes after mixing). Press the earring post into the centre of the thickened resin, flat disc side facing into the resin and post pointing upward out of the mold. Hold in place for 30–60 seconds, then leave to cure undisturbed for the remaining 24–48 hours. After demolding, the post will be permanently embedded and the earring washer can be pushed onto the post from behind.

Are these earring washers suitable for sensitive ears?

These earring washers are metal — the specific alloy is not certified hypoallergenic. For customers with nickel sensitivity or metal allergies, we recommend using medical-grade silicone or stainless steel earring findings for the posts and hooks. The washer is the smallest component and has the least skin contact, but sensitive skin may still react to metal earring backs over prolonged wear.

Can I use these washers with hook-style dangle earrings?

Earring washers are specifically designed for post-style (stud) earrings. Hook-style or French wire earrings that loop through the earlobe do not use a back fastener — the hook design itself holds the earring in place. For drop earrings where a resin pendant hangs from a hook, you only need jump rings to attach the pendant to the hook, not an earring washer.

What other jewellery findings do I need to complete a pair of resin earrings?

For stud earrings: earring posts (embedded in resin during casting) + earring washers (this product). For drop earrings: a small jump ring (to connect the drilled resin piece to the hook) + earring hooks. You may also need a pin vise or small hand drill for drilling holes in cured resin, and flat-nose pliers for opening and closing jump rings neatly.
