The Basics - Earring Findings

There are many categories of earring findings available that can be used for the incredible assortment of earring styles. The categories of earring findings include but are not limited to:



Earstud. This is your basic earring finding, secured with an earnut.


Earwire. Many of today's earring styles are enhanced by earwires, nicknamed fishhooks.


Hoops. You can dress up a hoop in many amazing ways!


Leverback. This is more secure than earwires.

That about covers it for findings. Of course there are many more, but the findings covered so far are the ones that are more commonly used by jewelry crafters.

We'll continue our intro to jewelry-crafting with stringing materials next.
