How to Fix Earrings That Won’t Close: A Simple Guide

By Endures Forever — because jewellery should feel effortless.

Have you ever brought home a beautiful new pair of earrings, only to realise the clasp won’t close or the post seems slightly out of shape? It feels frustrating in the moment — but the truth is, this is one of the most common jewellery issues, and the fix is incredibly simple.

Before you worry, breathe.
This guide will show you exactly how to adjust your earrings gently and safely at home.

Why This Happens (Especially With Silver Jewellery)

Sterling silver is loved for many reasons — it’s lightweight, comfortable, and hypoallergenic. But because silver is naturally soft, it can bend slightly during transport, storage, or even when being handled.

A tiny tilt in the post or a slight misalignment between the post and clasp is completely normal. Most of the time, it just needs a small adjustment — nothing complicated, nothing stressful.

If the Earring Post Looks Bent

Don’t panic — this is one of the easiest fixes.

Simply hold the post gently between your fingertips and straighten it with light pressure.
Silver is flexible, so it doesn’t require force. A soft, slow adjustment will do.

If the Clasp Won’t Close

Here’s how you can realign it quickly and safely:

• Slightly lift the earring post upward

• Or gently press the post downward

• Align the post and clasp carefully

• Make tiny adjustments until they click together smoothly

Think of it like tuning something delicate.
Small, gentle movements create the perfect fit.

A Gentle Reminder

These small adjustments will not damage your earrings.
Even professional jewellers adjust silver posts the same way.

Once aligned, your earrings will close securely and look as beautiful as the day you bought them.

Wear Your Blessing, Wear It Comfortably

At Endures Forever, we believe jewellery should bring joy — never stress.
Some materials require a touch of care, and that’s completely normal. What matters most is that your jewellery continues to shine with you, move with you, and remind you of the blessings you carry.

We hope this simple guide helps you enjoy your earrings with confidence and ease.
