I sell a lot of earrings on eBay. Most of the earrings have either screw backs or clip backs since I sell vintage jewelry.
Screw back earrings were popular from the 1930's to the 1950's. Clip earrings were popular from the 1950's into the 1980's and remain popular today.
Imagine my surprise when I received an e-mail from a customer who was unfamiliar with screw back earrings. She asked me how you were supposed to wear them. She had a hazy idea that maybe you screwed them through your ears. Ouch!
