New! Handmade Sterling Silver Earwires

I've just added some handmade sterling silver earwires to my findings shop Cinnamon Jewellery Findings  on Folksy! Two pair sets of ball end and hoop style in bright or antiqued (oxidised) finish. Made with 20g/0.8mm sterling wire and tumbled to work-harden and shine up lovely! The jury's still out on the silver-filled wire - it didn't oxidised very well, had a yellowish tinge because of the copper even when cleaned up and I'm not sure about seeing the copper when you file the ends of the wire. Although I suppose it would darken over time so would be less noticeable. Hmmm...... maybe I'll give it another go. Here's some more sterling earwires in the meantime :D  

Destash!

Browsing eBay and some of the UK bead sites I was amazed at the variety in price of Sterling Silver fish hook earwires, ranging from 38p a pair to 95p each! I used to use them in my jewellery a few years ago and also sold them on eBay but now I make my own. As a result I have rather a lot taking up space in my beadbox (one of many!) So I've decided to sell them on Folksy for what I think is a fair price of 35p per pair. I'm selling them in packs of 10 and 20 pairs. All are .925 stamped with coil detail and measuring 18mm from top to bottom. Visit my Folksy shop  to grab a bargain!
