1100 Series Ear Clips Installation Instructions

Some helpful tips when using our findings!

These clips come with a removable spring. The clip assembly should be disassembled to attach the stem to your jewelry and then reassembled after it is attached. Place a small drop of oil (we use the point of a needle) on the spring where it meets the stem after you are finished with polishing and cleaning. Heat on the springs may affect the effectiveness of the clip.

The 1100 series clips have a groove in the spring which interlocks with a crossbar to prevent slipping during clip operation.

At our shop, the pins are finished with a laser, welding them to the tubing. If you don’t have a laser, the pins may be balled with a torch. We do not recommend riveting as this often results in pinching of the joint and creating excessive friction, diminishing the effectiveness of the clip.

Remember 18kt pink gold requires special handling, it can crack unexpectedly if heated and cooled multiple times.
