Elegantly formed and lightweight, these sterling silver threader earrings are individually made by myself in the USA in my private studio. Made from wire that is slightly thicker than standard ear wire, these earrings may not be the best choice for sensitive ears or new piercings. Each pair of earrings come with two sets of complimentary rubber backers to help decrease the risk of losing the earrings during wear. The backers slide on easily with a slight twisting motion and gentle pressure.
