- Are these finished earrings I can wear?
- No. They are earring findings, the base hoops a maker attaches charms or dangles to. You add your own wire work, beads or charms to finish them.
- Will the gold plating wear off?
- The plating is real 18K gold over stainless steel, but it is thin. Expect wear at the loops and hinge points where wire and metal rub, especially with daily wear.
- What wire fits the 2mm hole?
- The hole is 2mm, so most standard jewelry wire, headpins and jump rings pass through. Thicker craft wire or cord will not fit.
- Do they rust or turn skin green?
- The 304 stainless steel base resists rust and tarnish far better than brass findings. The gold plating, not the steel, is what wears over time.
- How big are they on the ear?
- About 14mm long and 12mm wide, a small huggie that sits close to the earlobe. They suit snug, close-to-the-ear designs rather than large hoops.
- What comes in the pack?
- The hoops themselves with their horizontal loops. Earring backs, charms and wire are not included, so plan on supplying your own findings.
