Fancy Ear Hooks - Curly Q - Expertly Hand-made - Argentium Sterling

Description

These are a shorter version of the curly ear hooks I often make (I've heard that people think my ear hooks are too long, but I like them that way).

I shape these ear wires myself, using 20 gauge argentium sterling silver wire, which is extremely tarnish resistant. The curly front part of the earring is hammered before it is shaped, giving the design a nice flashy "edge" to it and lots of strength. Made to order.

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.

The hooks are pictured with a U.S. quarter for size comparison and are about 1 inch long.
