Sterling silver earrings – sometimes referred to as moon gold – are often less expensive than their gold counterparts and this has also given way to many silversmiths experimenting with the material to craft some amazing pieces that are the same time are quite affordable. Add to this the extensive wholesale sterling silver earrings market that permits for the further dissemination of this jewelry, and it is not surprising that those who are looking for non-permanent earrings will look to the less expensive solution, especially since their needs for earrings usually include several sterling silver necklace and earring sets as well as mock sterling silver trumpet post earrings. Not surprisingly, those who do not wear pierced earrings will need more pairs since they are often changed a couple of times per day.
Clip on earrings that simulate sterling silver hoop earrings are a popular use of the sterling silver earring. A sterling silver earring with garnet may be used as an ear cuff. Both clip on sterling silver earrings as well as ear cuffs work by pinching on to the ear and thus staying in place. While sterling silver earrings may not be as expensive as gold jewelry, you will want to make sure that the clasps are holding on to your ear securely without pinching it so severely as to hurt and cause you headaches. If you find that your favorite non-pierced sterling silver earrings are no longer clasping to your ear as tightly as you would like, you will need to get them adjusted. A jeweler with a good working knowledge of sterling silver earrings will be able to help.
Other forms of clip-on earrings are the magnetic amethyst sterling silver earring that has a removable magnetic backing which goes behind the ear. While these are great for the small cross earring made from sterling silver or even the faux posts of sterling silver dangle earrings, it is important to remember that the connection between the magnetic backing and the front of the clip on earring must be strong enough to not allow the front to move. Thus, if your sterling silver horse earrings with magnetic backings turn out to be too heavy for the magnet, you may need to see if they can be reworked to become clip on earrings.
As you can see, whether you want to go into business with a wholesale sterling silver earring store that specializes in the non-pierced varieties, or if you simply want to find ways to convert your family’s heirloom amber sterling silver earrings for wear with clasps, make sure that you consider the many avenues available to you to make a fashion statement. Granted, sterling silver endless hoop earrings may not be part of your wardrobe, but with the use of magnets you can still wear the equivalent of sterling silver post earrings and nobody will know the difference!
