Gracias por respuestas tan prontas. Creo que esta es la que más puede entenderse a todo nivel. Lo siento, Laura, pero me pareció que al sólo nombrar "post earrings" podría estar claro. Además, bien poco sé sobre arops, aretes, zarcillos, etc y nunca había escuchado eso de "post earrings". Siempre se aprende algo nuevo.

Gracias nuevamente,


Luis

pendientes de tuerca


Explanation:
Quizá sea un poco específico, porque los cierres que pueden llevar son de distintos tipos y excepto los "de clip",es necesario tener perforadas las orejas (lóbulos, mejor dicho)

neutral  Maria Lorenzo: también había pensado en eso, pero no sabía si ponerlo o no, ya que como tu dices, puede que sea demasiado específico...

neutral  Refugio: Many post earrings simply have a push-on, not a screw-on, backing. What makes them "post" earrings is that they have a straight post that goes through the piercing hole, rather than a curved wire.

"in order to help you, the context is needed, so that the true meaning can be derived"


Explanation:
First, the sentence does not make sense in English. So, we have to determine what the speaker is actually indicating here. It would be nice to see more of the document, in order to get the necessary context.
