925 Sterling Silver Leverback Earring Hooks Pair- Secure Latch Closure - Findings for DIY Jewelry Making and Earring Repair,19mm Lever Back, Heavy-Duty Heirloom Quality Findings

Product Information

About this item

• DECORATIVE FRONT THAT BELONGS IN THE FINISHED PIECE: Most leverback earring hooks show only hinged wire from the front. The Jewelets decorative front face is a design element of the finished earring, not just hardware. Drop styles, short-chain earrings, and convertible designs worn without a pendant all benefit from a closure that looks intentional from every angle. No other 925 sterling silver leverback finding in this category carries a decorative front face.
• SIZED FOR ADULT EARS AND STANDARD WIRE GAUGES: 19mm total height (0.74 in), 0.9mm wire diameter (19-gauge), 1.6mm bottom opening — all three dimensions published so you can confirm fit before you buy. Size is the most-complained-about topic in the leverback finding category; buyers describe closures too small for adult ears or incompatible with their bail loops. These specs work with standard jump rings and most bail gauges without modification.
• LATCH THAT STAYS CLOSED - EVERY OPEN-AND-CLOSE CYCLE: The pivot-pin spring snaps shut positively and re-seats cleanly each time. Jewelets leverback closures show 100% positive sentiment on closure reliability across every buyer mention. The highest-volume competing leverback in this category registers under 55% positive closure sentiment, with buyers describing latches that won't re-seat and earrings that were lost. Your earrings stay on.
• GENUINE 925 STERLING SILVER - DISCLOSED, NOT ASSUMED: Sterling silver earring hooks are routinely counterfeited in this category; buyers on competing products have documented magnet-test failures. Jewelets discloses both materials: 925 sterling silver for the frame and body, stainless steel for the internal spring. Stainless steel is the correct spring material — it holds tension longer than silver would. Buyer reviews confirm 94% positive sentiment on material authenticity.
• OPENS SIDEWAYS - ONE HAND, NO TOOLS: Rotate the bottom loop to one side, attach your pendant or jump ring, then rotate back and press closed. Never bend the loop downward — downward force deforms the metal permanently. Once you know the direction, the pivot-pin hinge opens and closes cleanly without pliers. The 1.6mm opening is compatible with standard bail loops and jump rings used in most DIY jewelry making applications.
• SOLD AS A MATCHED PAIR FOR A REASON: A bulk pack of 8–16 generic leverback findings gives you quantity. A matched pair of Jewelets closures gives you two identical findings for one specific project or repair. Crafters replacing a broken closure or building a matched set are better served by two precise pieces than a surplus of components that vary in fit. Both closures come from the same production run.
• 30 YEARS OF FINDINGS CRAFTSMANSHIP, OPEN LOOP FOR EVERY PENDANT: Jewelets has crafted sterling silver earring parts from New York for over three decades. The open bottom loop accepts pendants, gemstone drops, and charms interchangeably — swap what hangs from the closure without replacing the finding. That interchangeability makes a quality leverback closure a long-term toolkit investment rather than a single-use component.
• STAINLESS STEEL SPRING, 19-GAUGE STERLING FRAME: The internal spring is stainless steel, not silver — silver springs lose tension over time; stainless steel holds its coil through thousands of cycles. The 19-gauge (0.9mm) sterling silver wire holds shape through daily wear without bending out of round. Reviewers describe converting 20 or more pairs of post earrings to leverbacks and reusing these closures across multiple projects.
• To attach a pendant, open the bottom loop sideways only - rotate it to the side, attach your piece, then rotate it back and press closed. Never bend the loop downward; downward force deforms the metal. Sold as a matched pair, these closures suit a specific project or earring repair where both pieces need to match exactly. For DIY jewelry making and crafters who want heirloom-quality sterling silver earring hooks, the pair format is the intentional choice.
• European silver without harmful metal contamination
