How Threadless Jewelry Works: A Complete Guide for Piercing Enthusiasts
Share
If you're shopping for high-end body jewelry, you've probably come across the term “threadless jewelry.” But what exactly does it mean, and why is it considered the gold standard in modern body piercing?
At Gold Addiction, we specialize in premium threadless piercing jewelry crafted from solid 14K gold and genuine gemstones. In this guide, we’ll explain how threadless jewelry works, why it's preferred by professional piercers, and how to choose the perfect piece for your next piercing upgrade.
What Is Threadless Jewelry?
Threadless jewelry is a type of body jewelry that uses a push-fit mechanism instead of traditional threaded posts. It consists of two main parts:
- A post (or labret), which is inserted into the piercing
- A threadless end, which pushes into the post and stays securely in place via tension
This innovative design makes inserting and removing jewelry much easier—no twisting, no threading, no damage to delicate pieces.

How Does Threadless Jewelry Stay In?
The threadless end has a small, pre-bent pin that inserts into the hollow post. When pushed in, the pin bends slightly to create tension, holding the jewelry securely.
Here’s how it works step-by-step:
- Insert the post into your healed piercing.
- Slightly bend the pin of your decorative end.
- Push the pin into the post until it feels snug.
- Done! Your jewelry stays put until gently pulled apart.
This mechanism is trusted for its security, ease of use, and comfort, especially in hard-to-reach areas like nostrils, cartilage, or inner ear piercings.
