Scrolled Ear Wires - wholesale lot - Handmade - Argentium Sterling

Description

This is a listing for a wholesale lot - 5 pairs - of my fancy scroll styled ear wires. A great way to add some dimension to your earrings. The scroll also helps visually balance an earring design when you have a large dangle.

Made to order.
Regular price: $3/pr
This listing $2.75/pr

I shape these ear wires myself, using 21 gauge argentium sterling silver wire, half hard, for durability. Certain areas are lightly hammered for strength. Argentium silver is extremely tarnish resistant.

Did you kow that improperly made ear hooks can scratch or cut your ear lobes leading to infection and permanent damage? It's true, and I see dangerous ear hooks made all the time (hand-made AND factory made). Not mine. I pay very close attention to important details in making my ear hooks. The part of of the hook that rests in your lobe should always be round. Wire that is hammered flat, if it's sitting in your ear lobe, is more likely to cut through your ear if it gets pulled on. The ends of the wire should also be rounded: sharp edges and burs from cutting the wire can scratch the inner part of your ear lobe as you put the earring on. I use a fine metal file to smooth and round the end of the wire so that it is not sharp.

Also available by the pair. Thanks for looking!
