I made these spiral ear wires using 14/20 gold filled wire. They have been slightly hammered flat and the ends have been rounded and smoothed for a nice comfortable fit.
Approximate Measurements:
Length: 1" (24mm)
Width: 1/4" (9mm)
These are sold by the pair.
Please note, I make these ear wires by hand, there may be some slight variations from pair to pair. If you need a larger quantity than what is available, please contact me so that arrangements can be made.
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 it wears just like real gold. It has beauty, durability, and strength. It is a quality alternative to solid gold at an affordable price.
