Now in Antiqued Copper, Oxidized Brass, and Gunmetal, as well.
Also ear wires in Argentium -- a tarnish-resistant sterling silver.
We have new nickel-free gold-plated and nickel-free silver-plated french wires and ball-drop posts.

Better Quality vs. Economy
In the Economy line, the wires are a bit stiffer and more brittle; if there is a moving part, such as the hinge on a lever-back, this is not constructed as well, and will not be as durable. Of course, there are big differences in price.

Hoops

Sterling silver and gold-filled bead hoops have a loop at one end. Slide beads onto the hoop, then bend the straight end of the hoop outward to create a hook.

Gold-plated and nickel-plated bead hoops have a stamped hole in one end. Slide beads onto the hoop, then bend the straight end of the hoop outward, so it catches the hole through its bottom.

Some people use these for wine glass charms. Only the sterling and gold-filled ones can be washed. The plating will come off the plated ones, when washed.
