Why Internal Thread and Push-Fit Jewellery Are Taking Centre Stage
If you’ve noticed the terms internal thread or push-fit floating around lately, you’re not imagining it – they’re the new favourites in the piercing world. Think of them as the upgraded version of jewellery connections: smoother, comfier, and easier to wear.
So why are piercers (including us) leaning more towards these styles? Here’s the lowdown:
1. Smooth sailing (literally)
Internal thread and push-fit jewellery don’t have exposed threads dragging through the piercing when you change them. That means less friction and less irritation – your piercing says “thank you very much.”
2. A snug, secure fit
Because the joining parts are hidden inside the jewellery, the connection feels more precise and stable. Less wiggling, less loosening, more comfort.
3. Style made simple
Push-fit jewellery is like the quick-change artist of the piercing world. You can pop different decorative tops in and out with no tools, making it easy to match your jewellery to your mood.
4. The new normal
Across the industry, internal thread and push-fit have become the gold standard – they make life easier for both piercer and client, while giving you more long-term options.
Where does external thread fit in?
External thread jewellery has been a workhorse of the industry for decades, and it’s served piercers and clients well. We still use it, but we’re slowly phasing it out in favour of the newer styles. Not because it isn’t safe, but because internal thread and push-fit simply offer a smoother experience and more flexibility for the future.
In other words, external thread had its time in the spotlight, and now it’s passing the torch. Your piercing still heals just fine with it – we’re just excited to offer you jewellery that takes comfort and style a step further.
