Details of the metal contents for the sterling silver and 14/20 gold hooks are described below.
Sterling Silver (marked .925) is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. The sterling alloy produces a metal that maintains the lustrous white color of silver while increasing the strength and durability. Wire products (ear wires and sterling coils) are made from sterling wire supplied by reputable domestic suppliers. Recommended for all applications.

Gold-filled products are mechanical compositions of thin gold karat layers and base metal cores. The use of heat and pressure bonds the gold karat layer to the base.
Gold-filled wire products are manufactured to federal standards, marked and sold accordingly. Ear wires can be made with 14/20 gold-filled wire, which is an abbreviation for their gold content by weight. 14/20 gold-filled wire is composed of a base metal (bronze) wire core and mechanically clad with a tube of 14k gold that is 1/20th (by weight) of the total weight. Recommended for all applications.
