Stud earrings poll

[Sheen]

Thought i would post a poll . What thickness of metal do you use for the front of basic stud earrings? You can choose more than one option.

That worked then

Do you mean the body of the earring, rather than the pinstem?

Yes, the face of the earring typically a cutout shape: circle, horses head, etc

Sorry can’t help, I ever make them.

I use a variety of thicknesses, depending on what I'm making. Sometimes its .5mm - but can be up to 1mm thick.

I'd love to comment but have not done that many ! I am everywhere atm as only learning and trying everything! I think if I do smth then I would be aiming for mid thickness not too thin and not too heavy,,, but again depends on design too...

I make them a lot. I use .5 SS sheet. Be careful when soldering the post on that you don’t press too hard or it pushes a little dent out which needs filing back.
.7 is good too but sometimes looks a bit clumsy on intricate designs
