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)
Please note, I make these ear wires by hand, there may be some slight variations from pair to pair.
All
ear wires are made to order. Please allow 5 business days for me to
complete your order. This does not include shipping/transit time.
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.
