Earwire earring findings range from very basic  hooks to more modern interpretations such as v-wires. Earwires may also be known as shepherd hooks or french hooks. The name does not refer to the nation of origin. French hooks do not come from France; the name is sort of like french fries! Earwires are the most popular type of earring finding in jewelry making because they are affordable and versatile. Please note that we sell all our earring findings by the piece so a 10 pack of earrings contains 5 pairs, for example. Order in multiples of two for complete pairs. These jewelry findings are frequently purchased with headpins and charms.
