Lightweight and easy breezy is how I would describe these handmade 14/20
Gold Filled french hooks. These are also a great way to enhance your
favorite heirloom earrings, upgrade or replace the ear hooks on your new
earrings, add them to your own earring designs, also a great gift for
the jewelry crafter or maker on your list. Individually handmade from
14/20 gold filled (nickel free and hypoallergenic) with sturdy 20g wire.
These will last you for years to come.
Handmade and hammered
french ear wires. The ends have been sanded and smoothed for a nice
comfortable fit. They are also tumbled for several hours to give them
added strength and shine.
These are sold by the pair.
Approximate Measurements:Back Length: just a bit over 3/4" (about: 20mm)
Front Loop Length: 5/8" (about: 17mm)
Width: 1/2" (12mm)
Wire Gauge: 20g (0.8mm)
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.
All
ear wires are made to order. Please allow 5 business days for me to
