Earrings · Stainless Steel
Earrings touch skin all day, so the finding matters as much as the front. We specify the post or hook, the back, and whether the metal touching the ear is the plated one.
Range
MOQ 50 pcs per design for stainless steel, quoted per pair. Findings named on every spec line.
18K gold PVD hoop earrings in 316L stainless steel. The vacuum-bonded coating is hard and even, and the steel core will not tarnish or irritate — a hoop for daily wear.
316L stainless steel huggie hoops that hug the lobe. Tarnish-free, waterproof and light enough for all-day wear, with a hinge that keeps its snap.
316L stainless steel CZ stud earrings. A prong-set cubic zirconia on a skin-safe steel post, tarnish-free and waterproof, with comfort backs sized to stay put.
Earrings
Earrings are the category where the invisible part decides the return rate. The front can be perfect and the order still comes back if the post irritates a sensitive ear, the back will not hold, or the hook is too thin for a heavier drop.
That is why we quote earrings by the pair with the finding named: post and butterfly, huggie hinge, fishhook, lever-back or threader. In stainless steel the finding is also where a sensible cost decision lives — stainless steel posts and backs on a plated brass earring cost a little more and remove the most common source of complaints.
Material
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Water resistance | No tarnish or green marking; salt water and sweat resistant |
| Magnet test | Unreliable on finished pieces — worked 316L reads slightly magnetic |
| Plating | PVD in a vacuum chamber, ion plating for colour, electroplating in a tank |
| Coating thickness | Stated in microns on the quotation, per item |
| Finding | When we recommend it |
|---|---|
| Post and butterfly | Studs and small pieces; the cheapest and the most familiar |
| Huggie hinge | Close-fitting hoops; the closure is the design, so get it right |
| Fishhook / French wire | Drops and heavier pieces; it lets the earring hang properly |
| Lever-back | Anything a customer will not want to lose — the most secure option we make |
Pricing
