Hi PS'ers. It's that time for me again. My LaPousette backs have given out after 6 1/2 years.

I need to have my studs re-set and want to overnight them to NYC today. However, I don't think I want the same backs this time. The last time I was looking for jackets, I was at a vendor who showed me some new backs that were similar to LaPousette, but they were also like a rubber center so that in addition to catching on the two safety grooves of the post, they stayed securely against your eyes while you wearing them.

The LaPousette doesn't stay agsainst the ear very well, or for very long. It is especially difficult for them to stay against your ears when one is wearing jackets. I hate droopy diamonds. :doh: I'm constantly nagging my daughter to push hers in and I constantly have to the same.

I think these new ones will work, but I can't remember what they are called and I can't find images of them online. However, I did find "Chrystmela Catch" earring backs that look promising except they they seem to stay locked only on the post groove, which will still cause droopy studs.

I have friction backs for my sapphire studs and while I love them and they stay put, I am too afraid to use them for my studs and jackets. My grandsom already pulled them off my ear once and that freaked me out. I would rather my ear get shreaded and I start bleeding before I see my earrings on the floor.

I can't wear screw backs.

Can anyone help me? :dance:
 
If you figure out what these backs are called, please let me know, they sound perfect!
 
IDJ gave me fabulous friction backs when I purchased my earring jackets. HOWEVER, I have not found anything that pushes my earrings to lay flat except cheak posts with plastic disc and even with those I feel insecure that they will fall off and then my ears get sore at the end of the day. I havent worn them except in the hosue as I am afraid they will fall off. The plastic discs definetely help with the earring laying flush on my ear. When I wear my studs without the jackets I wear the friction backs IDJ gave me with a little plasti tiny plug from a cheap pair of dangle earrings just so that I feel extra secute.

If anyone finds a miracle let me know also
 
I'm going insane. I thought I knew which jeweler to call to find out, but that was a bust.

I went and sent them to IDJ to replace the current setting with the same ones I already had and when I told Yekutiel, he said "contact baby monster, she got the ones I think you are talking about on eBay". Oh Yekutiel...

I told him he should have already known that I would have checked on PS already. :tongue:

I love him.
