The \u003cstrong\u003eGuardian II Positive Locking Earring Backs\u003c\/strong\u003e, also sold as \u003cem\u003eGuardian II Ear Nuts\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eGuardian II Safety Earring Backs\u003c\/em\u003e, are a 6.1mm outside diameter clutch with comfort triggers, made to fit a 0.89mm (0.035\") diameter post. The triggers snap closed around a groove on the matching ear post and release only when both tabs are squeezed at the same time. The Guardian II improves on the original Guardian design with slightly larger triggers that are bent over to present a smooth surface for easier unlocking. WR Cobb makes these findings in the USA from 100% recycled gold, in 14K and 18K yellow or white, and is certified to ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management System) standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePositive locking earring backs have been available since the French introduced the ZOP system in the late twentieth century.
