You are buying one 3/8 inch solid sterling silver shackle earring.  I started making these shackle earrings as a union boilermaker in the '90s. This sterling silver shackle measures 3/8 inch (11mm) in height. The gap at the top is 1/8 inch (3.5mm).  The pin is 18 gauge and threaded just like a shackle is supposed to work. I cast the shackles myself, fabricate the wire for the pin, solder it to the head and tap the threads.

I have over 40 years experience as a goldsmith and graduate gemologist.  If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch.

We hope you will check our other items listed in our store.  Thank you and have a great day!!
