How to put on a clicker?

Clickers have recently become hugely popular, thanks to their very easy opening system and hassle-free earring changes. The clicker earring has a single component in its design, which is mounted on a tiny hinge. As a result, there is no need to bend the earring part or pull small parts out of the earring (as is the case with a bendable circle or segmented circle) . The moving part of the earring is permanently attached to the ornament and you only need to gently lever the hinged part to open the hoop. It is best to practice opening and closing the earring initially "dry", i.e. without inserting it into the piercing channel. After a short dose of practice, you can become proficient, where removing or inserting the earring becomes quick and effortless.
