Hand-sculpted curly corkscrew threaders are fun simple daily wear earrings that are sure to bring complements. These remind me of curling ribbons! Earrings are approx. 1 3/4 inches long and are made from 18 ga. wire which is a little thicker than typical ear hooks in order to help hold their shape better. If you have older ear piercings it shouldn't be a problem, but it's possible that newer piercings may be a little tight. Sterling Silver or 14K Goldfil.
