The shepherd's hook ear wire is a basic type of ear wire that dates back to Roman times.  Deriving its name from its shape, it is one of the most common types of ear wires still used in jewelry making today.  Also called “fish hook” or “French-style” ear wires, they are either made by hand or, more commonly, mass produced by machine with the rounded portion of the ear wire stamped by the machine to make it permanent.

925 silver is a silver alloy that is 92.5% pure silver by mass, with the remaining 7.5% being made up of other metals, typically copper. 925 silver is also known as "Sterling silver" - and this name derives from medieval times, when sterling was another name for the English or Scottish silver penny.
