Beadalon S Steel Wire Coil Round 316L 20Ga 6M

When I found out that mystery metals were causing irritation in my piercings, I switched to stainless steel earwires and posts. It gets expensive to buy pre-made shepherd's hooks, so I've learned how to make them using a round-nosed pliers. This 20 gauge is the perfect thickness and is strong enough to hold most of the earrings I use it with. (The skinnier gauges can also be irritating to the earlobe because they almost "cut" through the lobe...).
