Question on ear studs backing

[simplysplendid]

Hello,

How much would you expect to pay for a pair of backing for ear studs in 18k gold. No studs, just the backing. Thanks!

just push backs? what size?

Hello,

Yes, just the backing or push backs, not the screw type. Not sure about the size though. They are the standard small ones which measures approx 6mm across. Thank you.

Depending on where you get them most jewelry stores charge anywhere from $3 to $10 each.

Really?? So cheap? I was thinking it would be $30 at least. Those that are $3 to $10, are they the 18k gold ones?

I just ask my jeweler for backs. I think I pay about $5 each. Just tell him you want 18k.

 

[marcy]

Yes, backs aren't that expensive.

Wow I didn't know they could be so cheap. I remember asking around and getting an extremely inflated price. I ended up just getting gold plated ones.
