In this earring, the clasp is also the decorative element of the earring. The small ball in the embrace of the metal bar is precisely the key element of this earring. This ball has two small concaves into which the arms of the earring are pressed. What should be kept in mind with this type of earring? Never try to unbend it in order to open it. All you need to do is pull out the small ornamental ball - it is best to push it out of the shoulders of the circle. Once you've inserted the earring into the piercing, to close it and prevent it from falling out, you need to push the ball back into place - that is, you need to put the arms of the hoop into the two concave parts inside the ball. This earring can be a bit tricky with smaller sizes (e.g. 1.2/6/3) - the ball is small there and it takes a lot of practice to push the ball into the arms of the circle with such a tiny diameter. Larger sizes, after a little practice, do not cause much trouble in handling.
