Niobium Earwires

These earwires are made of hypo-allergenic niobium. The swatches at left show the full color spectrum available. We like these earwires, because the holes are larger than what is sometimes sold in niobium. (Larger holes = more versatile and easier to work with.) Wire size is 20g AWG (0.8mm, 0.032"). Sold by the pair, 5 pair or 15 pair.

Important! There are color variations from earring to earring. We will try to send you earwires that are as close as possible in color, but if you order a 10 pack, you might have 4 earwires that are slightly darker, and 6 that are lighter. (We will, however, avoid sending a single earwire that doesn't match any others!)

The multi-mix earwire pack (available only in bulk) will have pairs of different colored earwires. Each multi-mix will be different, but you are guaranteed to receive at least 6 different colors in your batch (most will have 12+ color pairs)

Base Metal Chain (sold by the foot)

This pre-made, base metal chain is prefect for creating necklaces with chainmaille centerpieces.  If your centerpiece's end rings are small enough, they can slip right into the chain to create a necklace.  Otherwise, we recommend purchasing some tiny jump rings (size B20 - 20g 3/32" / 2.4mm) to use to attach the piece.  Chain also works with will our pendant bails to complete your favorite chainmaille pendant.

Note: Chain is sold by the foot, meaning we DO NOT cut it it into 12" sections.  If you by three 12" sections, it will come as one long 36" piece.  This chain is easily cut to size with wire cutters.
