METAL SPOTTED HOOP EARRINGS

We have some cute metal hoops for you today!
These are lead and nickel-free metal earrings.

This purchase would be for a pair of  2mm THIN hoops which
are approximately 58mm across in PURPLE with PALE PINK dots.

The earrings have been painted via a process known
as electrophoretic processing.
If you are like me, you had no idea what this meant, so I looked it up!
Here's what I found from Wikipedia, if you are interested.
If not, please skip to the bottom of the listing!

Uses of EPD (electrophoretic processing):
This process is industrially used for applying coatings to metal fabricated products.
It has been widely used to coat automobile bodies and parts, tractors and heavy equipment, electrical switch gear,
appliances, metal furniture, beverage containers, fasteners, and many other industrial products.
EPD processes are often applied for the fabrication of supported titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts
for water purification applications, using precursor powders which can be immobilized using EPD
methods onto various support materials. Thick films produced this way allow cheaper and
 more rapid synthesis relative to sol-gel thin-films, along with higher levels of photocatalyst surface area.
EPD processed have a number of advantages which have made such methods widely used.

- The process applies coatings which generally have a very uniform coating thickness without porosity.
- Complex fabricated objects can easily be coated, both inside cavities as well as on the outside surfaces.
- Relatively high speed of coating.
- Relatively high purity.
- Applicability to wide range of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, etc.)
- Easy control of the coating composition.
- The process is normally automated and requires less human labor than other coating processes.
- Highly efficient utilization of the coating materials result in lower costs relative to other processes.
- The aqueous process which is commonly used has less risk of fire relative to the
solvent-borne coatings that they have replaced.
- Modern electrophoretic paint products are significantly more environmentally friendly
than many other painting technologies.

Given the process, we can't control the earring posts.
However, they sound pretty easy on the ears.
I just want to be sure you are aware that these don't have our usual plated earring wires on them.

Each purchase is for one pair.
Earrings come in a ziploc bag, ready to wear!
At our prices, you can afford to have a big
collection of fun earrings!
