Gold Filled Cup And Peg Hooplet 3mm

Description

This 14ct Gold Filled Cup and Peg Hooplet is ideal to use as a drop in necklace, earring or bracelet designs. It features a large hoop to which a cup and twist peg is attached, where half-drilled pearls or other round beads can be added to form a drop element.

Gold filled jewellery is also known as rolled gold or gold bonded and is created by mechanically bonding a layer of gold to a layer of base metal – usually brass. The outer gold layer must be at least 1/20 of the overall metal content by weight. Therefore it makes a great alternative to gold plating, which is thinner and less durable.

The cup has a diameter of 3mm. The hoop has an external diameter of 5mm, and a thickness of 0.64mm. The peg is approximately 2mm long.

Supplied individually.
