Mouse trap earring findings, also known as lever back earrings or Fingernail posts, are a type of earring finding commonly used for bead embroidery type earrings. They are named for their unique mechanism, which resembles the action of a traditional mouse trap.

Design: Mouse trap earring findings consist of two main parts: the lever and the flatback. The lever is a hinged clasp that opens and closes, and the flat back is where the earring or decoration is attached.

Operation: To put on the earring, the wearer opens the lever, slides the earring's hook through their pierced earlobe, and then closes the lever. This mechanism securely holds the earring in place.

Security: The lever back design provides a more secure closure than simple hook or fish hook earrings. The closing mechanism ensures that the earrings are less likely to be lost, as they cannot easily slip out of the ear.

Comfort and Style: These findings are often considered comfortable to wear, as they do not put pressure on the earlobes like some other types of earring backs. They also offer a neat, finished look, making them suitable for both casual and more formal designs.

Materials: Mouse trap earring findings can be made from a variety of materials, including gold, silver, and nickel-free metals, catering to different styles and skin sensitivities.

They are popular in jewelry making for their combination of aesthetic appeal, comfort, and security. Their versatility makes them suitable for a wide range of earring styles, from simple and elegant to more elaborate designs.
