Internal v.s. External Jewellery
If you are not sure what threading is in jewellery, or why it’s important, then you might want to continue reading. Threading only really applies to most barbell types, as a shaft must be screwed into a decorative bead. The two kinds of threading are internal and external, below you can find an outline of both.

Internal
The main difference between these types of jewellery is the post at the end of either the ball or the shaft. Internally threaded jewellery has no post at the end of the shaft, so the decorative bead screws into the shaft. Internally threaded jewellery is less harsh on sensitive ears as there is no post to rub or bump off anything.

External
Externally threaded jewellery is the opposite of internally threaded, with a stud at the shafts end which screws into the ball. A few years ago, this kind of jewellery was cheaper, but that is no longer the case. The post at the end can sometimes scrape off tender or healing skin, causing discomfort, but there is a wider range of jewellery.
