The Excellence of 18K Gold Sleeper Earrings for Your Jewelry

The sleeper is much more than a simple clasp; it's a historical setting favored for its reliability. Our workshop has selected 18-carat yellow gold sleeper settings (750 thousandths) to guarantee exceptional longevity for your earrings.

Choosing an 18-carat gold sleeper earring as a base for creation ensures a noble, hypoallergenic, and stainless metal. Unlike plated settings, our sleepers retain their sunny color and mechanical flexibility year after year.

Our collection meets the specific needs of the workbench. We offer two types of solutions:

  1. The Sleeper for Pearls: Equipped with a pin and a cup, it allows for clean and secure mounting of cultured pearls or fine stones.
  2. The Customizable Sleeper: A blank base ideal for hanging charms, pendants, or for complex soldering work.

By purchasing your gold sleeper settings from La Fille du Sud, you benefit from professional supplies at the fairest price.

FAQ: All About Sleeper Settings

Why choose 18-carat gold sleeper settings?

18-carat gold is the standard for fine jewelry. For sleeper earrings, this metal offers the rigidity necessary for the proper functioning of the spring while being perfectly tolerated by the skin, thus avoiding any irritation of the earlobe.

What is the difference between a sleeper and an ear wire?

The gold sleeper has a lever back that closes over the post. This "snap-down" system is much more secure than a simple ear wire, as it prevents the jewel from slipping out of the ear, even with sudden movements or friction with clothing.

How to use a sleeper with a cup?

This model is designed for pearls or beads drilled halfway. Simply apply a dab of jewelry glue to the post, insert the pearl, and the cup finishes the assembly by concealing the glue point for a professional finish.

Do you sell sleepers individually or in pairs?

To offer you complete flexibility, especially for repairs, some of our models, such as the sleeper for pearls, are sold individually. Our classic creation bases are generally offered in pairs. Please check the description on each product page.
