Commonly referred to as a "fish hook" wire. The arrow points to flattening on hook, where the number '925' is embossed. When your customers ask you "How do I KNOW it is really Sterling?" which you know they inevitably do, you can show them the mark on the wire. Unless you mark your products with the 925, you cannot legally call them Sterling, EVEN if they are!. Likewise, if they are Sterling, you must mark them so. The industry standard (both legal and customary) is to use the "925" to indicate that the product is Sterling Silver. NO OTHER marking is as widely recognized nor accepted by the National Stamping Act. Small spring at end allows for movement, if using heavy beads, this can be a stress point on the earring and it may eventually snap. The spring prevents this problem.
