.940 Argentium Silver Tiny Hook Earwires have been handmade, filed, hardened and tumbled for several hours to a smooth and shinny finish.
.940 Argentium silver is Nickel-free. Argentium produces less fire scale, it melts to a smoother ball and is also more tarnish resistant than Sterling Silver with a superior brightness.
Measuring approx 28mm long x 9mm wide with a 2-3mm front facing loop that sits up close to the lobe. Wire thickness is 0.8mm/20 guage/0.032". I use .8mm/20guage for all earwires, as this thickness creates a stronger wire that can withhold a heavier dangle/attachment without distorting.
**Made To Order when stock availability is low. Please feel welcome to message me for an update on my current production times for these hooks.
Being a handmade item, you will often find irregular markings, or minor differences in the pieces.

Argentium Silver .940 is an excellent alternative to Sterling Silver, at a comparable cost. The alloy is made up of germanium & a smaller amount of copper than in Sterling Silver, so it produces less fire scale, it melts to a smoother ball and is also more tarnish resistant than Sterling Silver. Argentium contains a higher amount (.940) of pure silver, and is nickel-free, so it is therefore an excellent option for customers with metal sensitivities.
