Antiqued Sterling Silver Spiral Post Earrings Handmade - Stud Earrings
Details
Antiqued Spiral Studs: These detailed posts are a variation of the spiral posts I use for dangle earrings, in a compact form for those who prefer small earrings or use as an "extra hole" stud. The post and spiral are all made from one piece of sterling silver wire, which I taper and solder to keep its shape. I hand sand each earring before tumbling with stainless steel shot for a few hours to smooth the surface and the post. After the earrings are polished, I apply a liver of sulfur antiquing solution and buff off the high spots to keep the darker contrast in the recesses. I antique the clutch backs to match.
These petite earrings measure a bit over 1/4" across and fit quite flush to the ear. I leave my pair in all the time in my second set of holes as they are comfortable and do not catch on hair or clothing. To complete the studs, I use medium-weight sterling silver clutch backs (butterfly clutches), also antiqued. If you prefer a different type of clutch, please let me know as I can substitute bullet clutches for a small upcharge of $2. This listing is for ONE PAIR of the antiqued sterling silver studs. Picture three is included to show the option of these earrings in bright sterling silver, which is a separate ArtFire listing. Picture four shows the polished silver for size demonstration.
As with all my handcrafted jewelry, these post earrings will come packaged in a recycled paper jewelry box and padded mailing envelope. First Class postage includes tracking, which I notify you of upon shipment. Please review my Policies page for further details on purchasing from this ArtFire shop.

PAYMENT
The accepted method of payment is PayPal (Amazon Payments was discontinued by ArtFire in 2015). You do not have to set up a PayPal account to be able to make secure payment through their site, and I will not see your credit card number. Please make payment within 24 hours of making purchase, as otherwise I assume you are foregoing the purchase and will re-post the item(s).
No personal checks are accepted; money orders will be allowed by previous email arrangement. Please make contact with me ahead of time if you request to pay by money order.
NOTE: Residents of Georgia will see sales tax added upon checkout, as I am required by law to collect and remit tax to the state.
SHIPPING
Orders will be shipped in 2-5 business days of payment to your PayPal address unless the listing notes extra time for fabrication (make to order). Send an email immediately after making payment if an alternate address should be used, or add to Notes to Seller. Items shipped within the United States will be wrapped and shipped by USPS First Class with tracking, which number I will provide to you on shipping. Canada packages will be sent First Class Mail International with appropriate customs form. For purchases specially arranged by money order, your item will ship after full payment has been received. If you are outside the U.S. and Canada, please contact me to discuss shipping options and pricing.
RETURN AND EXCHANGE POLICY
I want you to be happy with your handmade jewelry and will work with you on any concerns you may have after purchase. Because great care is taken to describe and picture an item accurately, please choose carefully. Unworn items may be exchanged or returned for partial refund. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping a return item with delivery tracking--which cost will be refunded if an item is defective. The refund amount will be reduced by original shipping costs and a 15% handling fee. Returns or exchanges must be initiated within 7 days of receiving your item, and I must receive by mail with tracking within 14 days--in original unworn condition and secure packaging.
***BOOKS ARE NON-RETURNABLE***
CUSTOM ORDERS
For custom pieces, a minimum 50% payment will be collected in advance after agreeing to the final design and materials. Custom-made items are not returnable or refundable. Of course, I will work with you on any concerns about craftsmanship or sizing.
