The fish hook clasp goes by several names (hook and eye, shepherd's hook) but the logic is consistent. Here, there's a curved hook, a receiver, and enough tension to hold.
Made With Purpose
The leverback and clutch back are both earring retention systems, but they're solving the problem differently. The leverback locks the wire into a closed loop, while the clutch back grips a post with spring friction. For drop earrings, the closed loop is the more positive solution, which is why the leverback exists.
