I made these 2" leaf ear wires using 14/20 gold filled wire. The ends have been rounded and smoothed for a nice comfortable fit. These are made using 20g or 18g wire. If you tend to be hard on your
jewelry and don't mind a thicker gauge, I would recommend the heavier
18g wire.
Approximate Measurements:
Length: 2" (50mm)
Width: 15/16" (24mm)
Wire Gauges:
20g wire: 0.8mm thick
18g wire: 1mm thick
These are sold by the pair.
The ruler in the photo is in cm.
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.
All ear wires are made to order. Please
allow 5 business days for me to complete your order. This does not
