20 Gold Lever Back Wires Earrings – (20mmX17mm)

Description

Gold Lever Back Earring Wires

These gold lever back earring wires feature a hinged closure mechanism that snaps firmly into place behind the ear, eliminating the open gap where beaded drops might slip free during movement. The curved wire follows the natural contour of the earlobe, distributing weight evenly across the piercing point rather than pulling forward like shepherd hooks tend to do with heavier assemblies.

• Dimensions: 20mm total length by 17mm maximum width including hinge
• Pack of 20 lever back hooks in warm gold-tone metal finish
• Self-closing hinged mechanism with audible click confirmation
• Open loop at base accepts wrapped loops, jump rings, or direct wire attachment
• Curved ear wire design sits flush against the back of the earlobe

The 20mm lever back hooks provide enough vertical space to showcase crystal clusters, gemstone cascades, or tiered chain designs without the earring sitting too high on the ear. Build chandelier-style drops by attaching multiple metal bead caps in graduated sizes, or wire-wrap faceted rondelles directly to the base loop for minimal designs that still benefit from secure earring findings. Assemblers working with resin charms or polymer clay components appreciate the closed-back security—no risk of losing handmade elements during commutes or evening events.

Metal findings in this finish resist tarnish better when stored in anti-tarnish pouches between projects. The hinged earring wires accommodate most standard beading wire gauges (20-24 gauge works smoothly), and the base loop opening measures approximately 2mm, wide enough for doubled headpins or small jump rings. Pair these with gemstone drops in complementary earth tones or contrasting jewel shades for maximum visual impact. Australia Beads sources findings that balance affordability with consistent mechanical performance—hinges that operate smoothly through hundreds of open-close cycles without loosening or warping.

At 20mm total length, these sit just below the earlobe attachment point when worn, creating a balanced visual proportion for drops measuring 15-40mm. The width—17mm at the widest hinge point—remains unobtrusive against the ear even in lightweight metals, while the warm gold tone photographs with rich depth in both natural daylight and indoor studio lighting.
