Approximately 14mm stainless steel kidney ear wire findings. These earring hooks are 22 gauge. Kidney ear wires hook completely shut which allows you to make extra-secure earrings. After attaching drop, use round-nose pliers to crimp loop closed. This keeps your drop in place. You can also string beads directly onto the wire (a French wire keeper, Bead Bumper or small crimp will hold beads in place when wire is opened/closed).
Why I prefer surgical steel kidney shaped earwires
By Michelle on 6/21/2011
The two best reasons for ordering surgical steel kidney shaped earwires (in addition to the low price of $3.50 per gross) are as follows: 1) If surgeons use surgical steel without harmful effects on patients, then surgical steel earwires would seem the logical choice for men and women who wear pierced earrings. 2) Unlike fishhook earrings and post earrings, kidney-shaped earwires do not require stops or nuts to stay on the customers' ears. Just add a jump ring and attach the drop or charm for flexibility.
