- Are these hooks good for sensitive ears?
- They are 304 stainless steel, which many people with metal sensitivities tolerate better than brass or copper alloys. The gold color comes from ion plating over the steel, not from a nickel underlayer.
- Will the gold color wear off?
- Ion plating is more durable than standard electroplating, but the finish can still thin where the loop rubs against a dangle. Lightweight earrings wear more slowly than heavy ones.
- What size dangle can I hang from the loop?
- The horizontal loop has a 2mm hole, so use jump rings, wire or connectors that fit through 2mm. Thicker rings or cords will not pass.
- How do these compare with sterling silver hooks?
- Stainless steel is stronger and cheaper to make with, and it holds a gold tone that silver does not. Sterling silver is softer and can be re-polished, while these keep their finish until the plating wears.
- What is in the pack?
- The pack contains French ear wire hooks in the gold finish, each with a horizontal loop. No earring backs or jump rings are included.
