STERLING SILVER earring hooks - add on item

Please note that this is an add on item ONLY. Please add this listing to your cart if you would like gold filled earring hooks instead of the standard gold plated hooks. Here at Grab Bag Botany, we strive to keep our products as affordable as possible, while still offering quality materials. Most of our earrings come standard with silver plated hooks. What's the difference between silver plated and sterling silver? Silver PLATED pieces are made with a base metal such as copper or brass (Grab Bag Botany uses brass) with a thin layer of silver plating. This silver plating looks just as beautiful and should hold up with time, however it can tarnish as the silver plating wears off from improper use (wearing your piece in water, while sweating, or rubbing against skin oils or skin care products). Sterling silver pieces are 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy. Sterling silver pieces are non-tarnish and will last for years! Price is for one PAIR of earring hooks. Please do not hesitate to messag
