Are these safe for a child's first piercing?

Yes. The 4mm ball is small and light, and the screw backs are harder for a child to pull off than push backs. Wait until the piercing is fully healed before swapping in any earring.

How do screw backs work?

The post is threaded and the back twists on like a tiny nut. That keeps it from sliding off, but it takes a few extra seconds to put on and remove.

Is the gold solid or plated?

It is 14K yellow gold, so the color is part of the metal rather than a coating that wears away.

How big are they really?

Each ball is 4mm across, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. They sit close to the lobe and read as a subtle stud.

Can they be worn every day?

Yes. Solid gold and a simple ball shape suit daily wear, including baths and sleep, though checking the backs now and then is wise.

What comes in the box?

The pair of earrings with their screw backs. Gift packaging depends on how the order is placed.

Our take on the Children's 4mm Ball Earrings 14K Yellow

These are small 4mm ball studs in solid 14K yellow gold, made for a child's first pair. The screw backs are the main selling point: they thread on and stay put, which matters for kids who fidget or play rough. At 4mm they are modest and light, closer to a starter stud than a statement piece. Compared with fashion studs in plated or 10K gold, the 14K build holds up better to daily wear and won't tarnish the way plated pairs can.
