About Earring Findings

Earring findings are one of our best selling findings at The Bead Shop; we believe that this is down to the exceedingly high quality teamed with our super competitive prices.

All of our earring findings are available in various materials and sizes including plated metals, stainless steel, gold filled and sterling silver. Whether you are looking to craft a pair of earrings to compliment your favourite evening necklace or to create a stunning one off statement pair of earrings as a gift for someone special - we have you covered.

Types Of Earring Findings

Earring Hooks - also go by the name of 'shepherds hooks', 'ear wires' and 'fish hooks'. These are our best selling style and lend themselves to a variety of design options. Hang beads from them using headpins, and create longer drop earrings with a combination of head pins & eye pins or attach charms with the help of jump rings.

Earring Posts - These are designed for stud earrings. Attach anything with a flat surface to the earring post with the help of a strong jewellery adhesive such as Zap jewellery gel or Hypo-cement. From buttons to diamonte rhinestones; create quick and simple ear studs with this easy technique.

Hoop Earring Connectors – are perfect for creating stunning statement earrings in no time at all. Simply thread your chosen beads onto the hoop and hook a fish hook to the top of the hoop.

Clip On Earring Findings – these are a great way to create drop earrings if you don’t have pierced ears, but still want to decorate your ear lobes.
