Why do these 14k gold earring backs stick to a magnet? I just received 8 pairs and they all stick to a magnet. Pure gold does not stick to a magnet.

This is yellow gold. If you use these, make sure every thing is clean as heaven. A dirty gold will happen if you don't. It is none forgiving.

I have them in my kitchen, love them, and a magnet will not stick to them. Not sure if that helps.

Unless the earrings are too heavy, they should be able to hold fine, in which case you can use magnet on both sides and attach earring to the front magnet for better hold. However, you may want to consider that your earlobe may start getting soar if worn for longer periods (30 mins?) due to strong pull, which you can probably try balancing by wearing heavier earrings.

They look nice but I can't seem to get them to stay in my hair so sleeping in them for me is a impossibility. I've tried bobby pins like crazy but they just roll off of my head. I can't figure out what's magnetic about them. Velcro is possibly the better way to go. I wish I could return them. Sorry for not being more helpful.

It's basically a big sticker, nonmetal, magnets won't work unless you stick it on a metal surface. You can try Quartet or FORAY brands.

I don't know if they are really that magnetic, but you could always superglue a magnet to the back of you are wanting to make magnets. I use them for ornament making and hot glue sticks to them very well.

NO magnets stick to stainles steel. The problem is the stainless steel, not the magnets.

They are metal and a magnet will hold it. I actually just checked out of curiosity due to this question.

That's a difficult question to answer because it depends on how you organize the earrings and what type of earrings are being organized (hooks, hoops, posts, studs). There are 100 slots in the door for earrings - I think best for hoops and hooks. Then, some or many of the ring slots in the mounted base can be used for posts and studs, and there are 52 rings slots of a typical size, and 12 large enough to hold a small bangle bracelet. Hope this helps.

Good day. I have used these to make earings, necklaces. ..ect. I have hot glued them on hair bow's and they have been a good seller of mine. Hope this helped.

Hi....I place mine in the fork of the branches and then put the back piece on. Most earrings hold well. El.

I have had mine for about a couple of months and see no wear on them. It seems they last a long time as far as I can tell now. They are not perfect, but a very good way to wear a ring without having to resize. I did get this brand and I got a different brand as well, but I don't remember which is which (sorry about that). However, I use both brands, since one brand worked great with one ring I have and the other brand worked great for another ring I have. I know this isn't much help, but they both have worked on a daily basis for me and neither, as I indicated, have shown any wear (I only wear out my brain by repeating myself... lol.

Yes, I think they would work great. I have replaced all my post backs with these. They are much easier to grip and spread the weight of the earring around so it doesn't droop.

I used 5 coats and regular kitchen magnets will stick, but will not hold anything. I bought some 3/4 inch rare earth magnets and they form a very secure bond now with my wall. The rare earth magnets hold large sheets of my child's painted artwork easily. After trying the rare earth magnets, this seems like an excellent product. If I'd stuck with the kitchen magnets, I would still be disappointed.

I don't wear mine. They seem to go on only one ear, do not fit right and they hurt. I try reforming them but it didn't work. They now just sit in my jewerly box.

Yes, magnets do stick....I have the 10 and 12 inch, they should last you forever if seasoned and washed correctly over time....use them every day.
