When crafting your collection of earrings, you can’t go wrong with leverback earring findings. Our sterling silver 9.4mm x 16.3mm, 21-gauge leverbacks ensure an earring never gets lost. Leverback earring findings have a spring-loaded closure that clicks the earring shut every time. With a 1.3mm inner diameter open ring at that bottom, you can connect all your favorite charms, elements, and beaded designs with ease. Use a headpin to attach sterling silver beads. Leverback closures are also quite sturdy and balanced so they can support heavier design elements than ear wires. Just be careful to keep the wearer's comfort in mind since heavy earrings can become painful by the end of a long day.
