The Wire Threader Earrings are the minimalist essential you'll reach for every day. A single arc of 20-gauge wire is hand-shaped and hammered in our studio, then threads smoothly through your piercing for a clean, 2-inch front-to-back drop. Choose sterling silver, 14K gold-filled, or 14K solid gold.

No hooks, no backs, nothing to lose. They're lightweight, easy to wear, and quietly polished.

Choose Your Metal

Sterling silver ($25): crisp and bright, made from ethically sourced silver
14K gold-filled ($30): a thick layer of real gold at an everyday price
14K solid gold ($225): heirloom quality that never wears away, and the best choice for very sensitive ears

Hand-Shaped and Hammered

Each pair is formed by hand from 20-gauge wire, then hammered for strength and a subtle texture that catches the light. There are no factory molds and no shortcuts, just slow, intentional craftsmanship. Learn why gold threader earrings are a must-have.

How to Wear Threader Earrings

Long or Short

Let them hang long for a relaxed drop, or pull more wire through the front for a shorter, neater look.

In a Double Piercing

Thread one earring through two piercings for a layered drape, or wear them asymmetrically for a modern twist.

With Everything

They work with a white shirt and gold rings, a knit top and wide-leg denim, or a slip dress. Pair them with a pearl necklace for a classic contrast.

Before You Buy

Do they stay in? Yes. Their weight hangs on both sides of the ear. Add a silicone stopper if you'd like extra security.

Can I get a longer or shorter size? Yes. Text us before ordering, and we're happy to make a custom length.

Which metal is best for sensitive ears? All three are nickel-free. 14K solid gold is the best choice for very sensitive ears.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you wear threader earrings?

To wear threader earrings, slide the thin end of the wire through your piercing from front to back, then pull it through until it hangs at the length you like.

Do I need backs or stoppers?

No. The weight and balance of the wire keep them in place during normal wear. Silicone stoppers can be added if you prefer extra security.

Can you sleep in threader earrings?

It's best not to. Sleeping in them can bend the wire out of shape, so take them off at night.

Are threader earrings good for sensitive ears?

Yes. These are made from nickel-free sterling silver, 14K gold-filled, or 14K solid gold. Solid gold is the safest choice for very sensitive ears.

What's the difference between gold-filled and solid gold?

Gold-filled has a thick layer of real gold bonded to a base metal. Solid gold is gold all the way through, so it never wears away.

Can I order a custom length?

Yes. Text us before placing your order, and we'll make a pair to fit your style or piercings.

Shipping Policy

Commitment to Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing

We believe that beautiful jewelry should also be responsibly made. That’s why every piece we create is crafted with a deep commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Ethically Sourced Precious Metals
All of our 14k gold and sterling silver comes exclusively from refiners on the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) list. This means our metals are sourced from refiners who are in good legal standing and who certify—as well as independently audit—that all supplies are fully traceable and conflict-free.

Mindfully Sourced Gemstones
We prioritize transparency and ethical practices in every gemstone we use. Whenever possible, we seek out mine-to-market stones or purchase directly from small, US-based lapidaries. This approach supports responsible mining, fair labor, and small businesses within our community.

A Promise You Can Trust
From the metals we select to the stones we set, we are dedicated to ensuring our jewelry not only looks good, but does good. You can wear your piece with confidence, knowing it was made with care for both people and planet.

Return Policy & Guarantee

If you have any questions prior to placing an order, please contact us.

Return Policy - We want you to love your purchase. But if for any reason it’s not the right fit for your style, we are happy to assist with a return for store credit within 14 days of delivery.
