Head Pins & Eye Pins 14/20 Gold-Filled Findings

Using headpins and eye pins to make jewelry is a necessary technique that, if mastered, will allow you to make many pattern variations with little effort. The purpose of making wire loops with headpins and eye pins is to keep beads in place, although they don’t have to be helpful. Eyepin and headpin loops can be made an additional component of your design and a functional finding that binds your piece together using a simple way.

Headpins are tiny wires with a flattened metal piece at one end, referred to as the “head.” The head serves as a stopper, ensuring that the beads stay on the wire. The wire is flush cut at the other end of the headpin to make it easier to use.

Headpins are typically made of a variety of precious metals and alloys. A variety of metals including gold and sterling silver are the most frequently used metals for jewelry-making. The findings also come in various lengths, which is truly helpful when working with larger jewelry design elements that require a bit more wire wrapping to keep in place.

Because they already have a loop on one end and can be manipulated to make bead links, eye pins are a great time saver when it comes to connecting your jewelry pieces. In addition, these findings are also available in other metals.
