I made these quality ear wires using 14/20 gold filled wire, nickel free and hypoallergenic. These are hand shaped and polished to minimize tool marks. The ends are also rounded and sanded smooth for a nice comfortable fit. Once finished the are tumbled for several hours to give them strength and shine. These are available in various wire gauges including 22 gauge, 21 gauge or 20 gauge. Your choice!
Approximate Measurements:
Length: 7/8" (22mm)
Width: 1/2" (14mm)
These are sold by the pair.
If you need a larger quantity than what is available, please contact me so that arrangements can be made. Please note, I make these ear wires by hand, there may be some slight variations from pair to pair.
Not sure which gauge to choose from?
22 gauge: Is what you typically see at the stores. If you are looking for something lightweight this is it.
21 gauge: A happy medium between the two, lightweight enough to fit most ears comfortably yet durable. 20 gauge: Very sturdy, holds it's shape very well.
Why I choose to use 14/20 gold filled and what it means:
Gold filled is made by using heat and pressure to fuse a layer of solid Gold onto a base metal (usually brass). I use 14/20 gold filled wire to create my pieces. What that means is that 1/20 (5%) of the metal weight is 14 karat solid gold, the same applies to 12/20 gold filled, which would contain 1/20 (5%) of 12 karat gold and so on.. I choose to work with 14/20 gold filled because of it's beautiful rich color and the fact that is wears just like real gold. It has beauty, durability, and strength. It is a quality alternative to solid gold at an affordable price.
