Fish Hook

The fish hook closure is one of the most common ones which is used in danglers as well as drop earrings.

However, just make sure that you do not play with the fish hook earrings as you have chances of getting them misplaced as they slide off easily.

Lever Backed

The lever backed style of closure is also referred to as an “omega back” as it possesses the shape of omega and tends to provide the earring a right balance and support. The particular type of closure can be found on the drop as well as dangler earrings and is usually carved out in metal that goes with the gemstone that is used in making the earring. The lever backed is often found in earrings that have loops or dangles. If you are someone who misplaces the earrings too often, then having the lever backed closure would keep them safe on your earlobes.

Kidney

Hoop

The hoop is a fully enclosed lock that it used in circular design earrings where and is one of the oldest designs in the closures that can be found in the jewellery market. The mechanism of the hoop earrings is such that the end of the earring slides into the hollow loop hole which gives it a complete continuous loop.

Well, this was all about the four different types of closures which are found in the earrings of different kinds. Although there are several other types of closures as well including French wire, push-back clips, studs, etc. If you are experimental with the design of these closures in the earrings for girls, then it is better that you choose the earrings in varied styles so that you wear them interchangeably. The best advice in this regard is to try out the different closures all by yourself and then select the one that you feel the most comfortable in.  You can even get the closure customised and get it adjusted so that it would balance your face proportionately.
