These are the 6.1mm outside diameter original Guardian Straight Trigger earring backs with matching .035" diameter x .395" length 2-notched ear post.
Positive locking earring backs have been on the market since the French first produced the ZOP system in the late 20th century. They are a marvelous invention that keeps earring secure while requiring 2 tabs on either side of the ear nut for the nut to be released. They are positive locking, as the tabs snap close around either one of the 2 grooves on the matching ear post. While the original ZOPS are no longer made, and some other brands have come and gone, the Guardians are now the dominate locking system in the market. These are the Original Guardians including the matching ear post. They differ from the more expensive Guardian II by having straight ridged tabs on either side of the clutch. Sold by the Piece.
