Some Comments about this Section
We don't sell many pairs of earrings, perhaps becuase we haven't until now had a section showing some. We used to sell Art Deco style earrings at art shows but shows are an insanely difficult way to make a living.
- Just about any symbol in the Symbol section can be made into earrings.
- Like just about everything else, we can make earrings in argentium sterling silver, 14kt gold or other karat gold etc.
- Most of the silver and much of the gold jewelry we make is at least 1.3 mm (16 guage) thick. Earrings don't need to be this thick and so are generally 1 mm (18 guage) thick or sometimes thinner. Even so they're usually twice as thick as commercial earrings.
- To get the price of a pair of earrings just double the price of a single symbol.
- We suggest no larger than Small for Dangle Earings and no larger than Extra Small for Post Earrings.
- The different styles of earrings we make are dangles (French Wires, 1 mm thick), post dangles, standard post earrings, hoops, screwbacks (or a newer style known as Guardian that is more expensive, only available in yellow and white 14kt gold, but much kinder on delicate ears).
- Please note, we are custom jewelers. If you can visualize it we can probably make it, even if it doesn't fit into any category we mention.
- We're happy to make single earrrings. Why not? They're each made one at a time anyway. Of course, this is also why there's no break for buying a pair. A pair just takes twice as long. We don't cast. We have no economies of scale.
- We don't charge for the findings (the wires or posts or nuts) if the earrings are silver. The cost is really minor. The only exception are silver screwbacks which are a bit more expensive or if we have to add a series of jump rings to make a post dangle longer. Gold is a different matter. We do charge for gold findings.
- If your creative imagination has given birth to a really complex earring or pair of earrings you might like to read the note on the first page of the Custom Section. There will probably be a design fee. Use your browser's back button to return here. If it's just a piece from the Symbol section with an extra stone, or a different metal there won't be an design charge.
- Call wor email us for further queries.
- Don't blame Pam for this section. It's all Mark.
