For the ultimate in easy custom earrings, invest in these versatile .925 sterling silver interchangeable ear wires. They're crafted in 22 gauge round half-hard wire for durability.
They feature an open spiral at bottom front, with a 1.5mm sterling silver ball end to anchor small-hole charms, closed jump rings, chain lengths, or large-hole gemstone beads. To change out embellishments, simply slide on or off the open end of the ear wire. There's an average gap of 3.5mm between the bottom and middle curve of the spiral, allowing for larger jump rings or tied cords.
The position and size of the ball end holds the embellishment in place along the bottom curve of the spiral. A long back wire offers plenty of room for ear nuts or clutch back, for extra security.
Ear wire length, back: 27.75mm
Ear wire length, front: 18.75mm
Ear wire width at top: 12.8mm
