Lightweight and modern, this ear wire is made using 14/20 gold filled wire. I wanted to make this french ear hook a bit more versatile for you and thought that turning the loop towards the front would be great for dangles or hoops. It looks amazing on it's own as an earring as well, and so easy to put on and take off. With today's busy schedules anything that's easy is always a YES for me! I would love to see where your imagination will take these!
Each pair is individually handmade by me with care. The ends are sanded and smoothed for a nice comfortable fit. They are then tumbled for several hours to give them strength and shine.
Measurements:
Length: 1.5" (48mm)
Width: 3/8" (10mm)
Loop Size: 1/4" (5mm)
Wire Gauge: 20g (0.8mm)
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.
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.
