EARRING BACK CONVERSION DETAILS We
are happy to announce we now have the capability to convert most any earring or cufflink into pierced
professionally. Stones do not need to be removed. It is a safe, fast, permanent fusion process which does not cause
heating to the metal, enamel or stones. So
gather up your favorite vintage earrings or Grandma's earrings that you love, but never wear because they hurt your ears,
and get them converted. Maybe you have earrings with broken backs. Problem solved with modern marvels. Keep in
mind that sometimes changing the backs destroys or hides the designer name. We will make every effort
to preserve the name, but placement thereof is everything when putting on a new back and many of the old earring backs have
the maker's name stamped right on the clip or screw back itself. Impossible to save. In my mind, better to be able to
wear and enjoy than preserve the name. But there are many purists out there. Not all earrings can be converted due to the type of metal that was used to construct them. Pot metal will not hold the weld and some other metals also will not hold well. Also see photos of examples of hard to convert or problem earrings. Sterling, gold, gold fill & most other metals will hold the fusion weld very well. The
cost to change the backs is $20 + cost of the finding if it is gold or silver. If you request karat
gold or sterling the cost is based on current market prices. We also have hypo-allergenic stainless backs. Stainless
backs will be included in the $20 cost. Your earrings will be professionally prepared for the new back. Two pairs of earrings converted for $30 + $5 for return shipping. If you are purchasing a pair of our earrings that are clip on or screwback we will convert to pierced at no cost. We can change the location of a back if you have earrings that would look better in another
position. We can also replace broken pin backs and solder jump rings on your charm bracelet. Please make inquiry for
such repairs.
