Ear Threader Findings for Jewelry Making

Ear threaders are the thread-through earring blank: a short rigid bar or post connected to a fine chain that slides through the piercing and hangs at the back. For making earrings, the spec that matters most is chain length (commonly 50-75mm total) and the loop or open jump ring at the end where you attach a charm, bead, or drop. Match the metal to your design: sterling silver and 14k gold-fill (not flash plate) hold up to daily wear and resist tarnish better than brass; nickel-free surgical steel or titanium suits sensitive ears. Watch the chain gauge — too fine kinks and snags hair, too heavy won't feed smoothly through the lobe. Box, cable, and snake chains are typical. Expect roughly $3-$12 a pair as blanks, more for solid gold. Many makers ship in 3-7 business days; bulk or made-to-order metal runs 1-3 weeks.

Use the metal, chain-style, and finish filters to narrow down, and check related searches for specific lengths and matching back-stoppers.
