Earwires and posts are jewellery items used for fastening earrings to pierced ears, the most common materials they are built from is silver, gold, hypoallergic steel or any other precious metal. Their construction vary and may differ considerably. The most common earwires include:

1. Kidney wires are used to make dangle, drop or hanging earrings. The metal passes through the earlobe and forms a closed loop. Their dimensions may vary: lenght from 18.70 to 17.70 mm; and on the width from 10.20 mm to 11.20 mm

2. French loops on the other hand pass the earlobe but don’t form a closed loop, they remain open. Their sizes are also different, so you can find 25mm-long as well as 28mm-long French loops on the market.
Their shapes may range from round circles, kidney-like objects to those similar to hooks.

Jewellery posts are another portion of jewellery components that are used for placing earings in the ear. They are usually built of a small post to which a small hook for ornaments is attached. It is often common that a small decoration is given to the post so the earlobes look beatiful.
Their prices differ depend on the weigh but it is worth remindig that each of them has different weigh, even though one earwire or post may look the same as the other object.
