Head Pins
Head pins are straight wire pins with a stop at one end that keeps beads from sliding off, used for earring drops, dangles and charms. This collection has flat-head, 1.5 and 2 mm ball-end, and paddle-end pins from 1 to 4 inches (about 25 to 100 mm) in 20 to 26 gauge, in plated base metal, Sterling Silver and gold filled.
For wrapped loops, choose 22 to 24 gauge (0.64–0.51 mm). Standard base-metal head pins aren't made for heavy wire wrapping.

Questions & answers
Why did my head pin break when I made a wrapped loop?
Standard base-metal head pins aren't made for heavy wire wrapping. For wrapped loops, use 22 to 24 gauge (0.64–0.51 mm); sterling silver and gold filled pins are more ductile and take wrapped loops well. If pins snap at normal bend angles, contact us.
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.
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.
Ages 16+. Not intended for use by children. Contains small parts that can be a choking hazard.
