These elegant ear wires are flattened and perfect for your sleek earring projects!
Quality: 1/10 Silver-filled, which means that the outer 10% of each item is .925 silver. These items have a brass core. The silver is mechanically bonded to the brass. The result is much thicker than silver plating. This process make the head pins much less expensive than solid sterling silver, and the difference in quality is impossible to see with the naked eye.
Unlike silver plate, which can wear off quite quickly, silver filled will keep its beauty through years of daily wear. Just use the same precautions you would with real silver jewelry - don't expose to harsh chemicals, and when not in use, store in a dry, airtight bag or container.
Measurements: The wire is 21 gauge (.028") thick and has been flattened near the loop. 18.5mm tall, 25mm wide. The loop is closed and has an inner diameter of 2mm.
