Gold Filled Ear Wires | Open Loop | Shepard Hook Design
The shepherd's hook is the oldest trick in the earring book: one curve of wire that hangs securely from the ear with nothing extra to fail. Jewelers have trusted the shape for centuries precisely because it disappears, letting whatever dangles below take all the attention.

This pair executes the classic form in 12/20 gold-filled wire at 21 gauge, each hook measuring 20mm from top to tip. An open 0.080" loop at the base lets you attach a finished drop with one gentle twist of pliers — no jump ring needed unless you prefer one. Because the gold layer is mechanically bonded rather than electroplated, the warm color holds up to daily handling and wear in a way plating cannot. Together the pair weighs a feather-light 0.2 grams.
Hang beaded dangles, gemstone drops, wrapped briolettes, or lightweight charms from them; the unornamented arc flatters minimalist and elaborate designs equally.
Nickel- and lead-free construction keeps them comfortable on sensitive ears, making these a dependable default for production batches and one-off gifts alike.
