20 Silver Plated Stainless Steel Earring Studs – (12mmX4mm)

Description

Silver Plated Stainless Steel Earring Studs

Surgical stainless steel provides the biocompatible foundation that sensitive skin demands, while the silver plating delivers the bright, reflective finish crafters prefer without the tarnish concerns of pure silver. When you’re gluing cabochons at your workbench or setting a cured resin dome, these silver plated stainless steel earring studs hold firm with a 4mm flat pad that accommodates most standard-sized embellishments. The 0.6mm post diameter threads smoothly through standard butterfly backs, and the hypoallergenic core means clients with metal sensitivities can wear your creations comfortably for extended periods.

• 12mm total length from pad surface to post tip
• 4mm circular flat pad for adhesive bonding
• 0.6mm post thickness compatible with standard earring backs
• Surgical stainless steel core: nickel-free, cadmium-free, lead-free
• Silver plated finish resists everyday wear
• Pack of 20 earring posts (10 pairs)

These 12mm earring posts suit polymer clay designs up to 8mm in diameter, allowing the clay to sit flush against the pad without overhanging awkwardly. Resin artists use them as bases for dried flower embedments or alcohol ink swirls, applying E6000 or jewellery epoxy to the flat surface before setting the dome. The rhinestones you’ve been collecting—flatback crystals in 3mm to 4mm—bond securely to this pad size, creating minimalist sparkle studs that catch light without overwhelming the earlobe. Glue a single freshwater pearl directly to the pad for classic simplicity, or layer small metal beads in a tight cluster for textured geometric designs.

Clean the pad surface with rubbing alcohol before applying adhesive to ensure maximum bond strength, and let your glued pieces cure fully according to the adhesive manufacturer’s guidelines—usually 24 hours for epoxies. The plated finish photographs with a cooler undertone than brass or copper findings, which means it sits naturally alongside grey pearls, clear crystal, or monochrome polymer designs without introducing warm colour competition.
