Vintage clip and screw back style earrings vary in the type of backs they
have. Some back styles are designed to hold more weighty adornments,
others for petite, small or children's ears, etc. Here are the most common
different styles of clips and photos of clip styles. Many designers carry
their own signature earring backs, see especially Monet earring clasps.

These are examples of the SIMPLE CLIP; also
called a STANDARD CLIP. These are good for
lightweight earrings.
This is a PADDLE BACK CLIP. It is the most
common type, and the kind we usually think
about when we think of clip earrings. They can
hold weightier earrings and are adjustable for
comfort.
This is an example of a SIMPLE SCREWBACK
CLIP. More popular in older styles, it needs to
be screwed tightly onto the ear, and loosened
to be removed.
This is an adjustable clip called a HINGED
SCREWBACK CLIP. It can be adjusted for
comfort for the individual wearer, and able to
be worn repeatedly without having to readjust
the screw each time.
This is called a MINI CLIP. It's good for smaller
ears like on petite people and children.
