What is better 18 carat or 14 carat gold for earrings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While 14KT is more durable it is less expensive. 18KT is more valuable but not as durable.

Gold is a very weak substance. When alloyed together with different metals it will change its durability. 14KT there is not as much gold which is why it is stronger. 18KT there is more gold which is why it is more valuable.

How do you make a magnetic earring?

Asked by Wiki User

MAKES 1 STUD:

Buy 2 REALLY small (but strong) magnets. You might be able to find them at your local craft store. Attach a rhinestone or gemstone to one face of one magnet. Place the opposite side of the rhinestone on the front of your earlobe. Place the north side of the other magnet on the back of your earlobe if the south side touches the front of the lobe, or vise versa. Make sure both magnets stick to your ear. Otherwise, flip the magnet on the back of your earlobe over.


MAKES 1 DROP OR CHANDELIER:


Buy the VERY SMALLEST MAGNETS you can find, and some piercing earrings of the type you want. Cut the hook (that goes through a piercing) off, leaving about 3 mm for metric, just under 1/4 inch imperial of wire from the bottom of the hook (the straight part attached to the jewelry) attached to the jewelry part. Attach a magnet to this small wire piece (the wire still attached, not the stuff you just cut off). You may want to paint the magnet and wire after attachment to hide any showing glue. Place the other magnet on the back of the lobe to stick the chandelier or drop (which is placed on the front of the lobe) to the ear.


MAKES 2 HOOPS:


Buy the VERY SMALLEST SPHERICAL magnets you can find. Also buy some hoop earrings, unless you want to make your own out of a single piece of wire bent into a loop (and painted if desired). Making your own hoops makes for easier assembly. If you buy pre-made earrings, cut them so that they are only full hoops with no extra wire. If you make your own hoops, great.
Now, whether you're using bought or made hoops, bend the very tips up, right where the hoops' wire separates, to make it so they can be bent into a line rather than permanently welded into a circle. Attach a magnet to these bent up tips on the inside so they stick instead of repel. Spread the magnets apart, then put them on opposite sides of your earlobes. Press the magnets up against your earlobes so they stick to them and you are done!






NOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN MAGNETIC EARRINGS!! ;-]
