Eye Pins

Eye pins are wire pins with a ready-made loop at one end, for linking beads into chains and connecting drops. This collection has eye pins from 9/16 inch to 2 inches long in 20 to 24 gauge, in Silver-Plated, Gold-Plated, rhodium-plated, antique copper, antique brass and gunmetal finishes, plus Sterling Silver.

Gauge is listed with millimeters, for example 22 gauge (0.64 mm). For wrapped loops, 22 to 24 gauge (0.64–0.51 mm) works well.

Questions & answers

What do Silver-Tone and Gold-Tone mean?

They describe base metal, such as zinc alloy, brass or iron, in a silver or gold color with no precious metal claimed. Sterling Silver, Gold Filled, Silver-Plated and Gold-Plated findings are always named as such.

Why are my plated findings tarnishing?

Gold-plated and silver-plated findings tarnish over time from skin acids, moisture and air. Sterling silver also tarnishes naturally but can be polished. Keep findings away from lotions, perfumes and chemicals, and store them in sealed bags or anti-tarnish pouches.

What does sterling silver mean?

Sterling silver is at least 92.5% pure silver (925). Plated items can't be called sterling. Sterling tarnishes naturally and can be polished back.
