Description

Clip-on earrings for people without pierced ears. This clip has a hinge locking mechanism and a round plate at the front, onto which you can glue a resin piece, a polymer clay decoration, or another lightweight ornament.

You can also hang dangling elements from the clip using a jump ring.

The back plate of the clip is generously sized and rounded at the edges, making the clip comfortable to wear.

These clips are gold PVD-coated. PVD coating gives the pieces a significantly more durable finish than conventional gold plating.

Frequently asked questions about the product

What kinds of earrings do these gold-plated clips work best for?

These 18K PVD gold-plated earring clips are suited for making jewelry for wearers without pierced ears, or when you want to make a clip-on version of an earring.

This style works well for, say, button-style clip-on stud earrings where you want to add a lightweight hanging piece. The gold-toned surface makes the clip a good choice for jewelry where the other visible parts are also gold-toned.

What can be glued onto the front of the gold-plated clip?

The clip's front gluing surface can hold a lightweight, flat-backed embellishment, such as a resin piece, polymer clay charm, small cabochon, acrylic piece, or other flat-back-style component.

The embellishment should neatly cover the gluing area, but it shouldn't be too heavy, so the clip stays comfortable to wear.

The gold-plated clip works especially well when you want the piece's tones, jump rings, and other details to match a gold-toned overall look.

How do you glue an embellishment onto a PVD gold-plated clip?

Clean both the clip's gluing surface and the back of the embellishment before gluing, for example with isopropyl alcohol, so the surfaces are free of grease, dust, or sanding residue. Let the surfaces dry completely, then attach the embellishment with a strong glue, such as E6000 Plus jewelry glue.

The surfaces can be roughened beforehand to strengthen the bond. Gold-plated surfaces should be handled carefully, though. If you roughen the gluing area, do it lightly and only in the spot that will be covered by the embellishment.

Use the glue sparingly, so it doesn't run into the clip's moving parts, and let the bond cure undisturbed before wearing or packaging the piece. Depending on conditions, the glue may take up to 48-72 hours to fully cure.

How heavy an embellishment does this gold-plated earring clip suit?

This clip works best with lightweight, reasonably sized jewelry. An embellishment that's too heavy can feel uncomfortable or cause the clip to shift on the ear.

Good materials include thin acrylic, polymer clay, resin, small beads, and lightweight chain. Always test the finished pair in wear, so the clip stays in place and feels comfortable.

What should be kept in mind when wearing PVD gold-plated clip-on earrings?

A PVD gold-plated surface is more durable than many conventionally gold-plated surfaces, but it should still be handled with care. Avoid unnecessary rubbing, scratching, and firm pressing with pliers, especially on visible parts of the piece.

Store finished jewelry in a dry place, separate from other pieces, so the surface doesn't get scratched. It's best to put jewelry on last and take it off first, so perfume, lotion, and hairspray don't put unnecessary strain on the gold-toned surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Materials and Safety

Are Steely Pop's jewelry findings compliant with EU safety requirements?

Yes. The products in our range meet the chemical restrictions applied to jewelry in the EU (such as the limits on nickel release and the thresholds for lead and cadmium).

What is surgical steel, and is it safe?

The term "surgical steel" is a general name for a group of stainless steel grades with especially good properties for skin contact. Surgical steel is widely considered one of the safest jewelry materials. Steely Pop's jewelry findings are made from steel grades 304, 316, and 316L, which are often referred to as surgical steel.
