Head Pin 50mm (2') Raw Brass

Headpins are are pre-cut lengths of wire and an essential finding.  Pins are a jewellery designer staple. They are the "spine" of most earrings and link beads together. The head serves as a stopper to hold beads or other components on the wire, and they are also referred to as bead pins. The open end of the headpin is then used to create a loop, using a pair of round nose pliers, forming a dangle or link for earrings, pendants, or charms, with the beads or other elements secured by the head.

The ideal length to form a loop is 7-10mm. They can be cut to a shorter length using wire cutters.

Headpins are available in several lengths: 1", 1 1/2", 2", and 3".

WHY WE LOVE WORKING IN BRASS & YOU WILL TOO!

• Brass is highly durable

• Brass is polished easily

• Brass is corrosion resistant

• Brass is green: a highly machinable material makes it
  able to be accurately manufactured with less scrap, less rework and less
  energy than other materials. Products made from brass generally have
  good "cradle-to-grave" characteristics as not only do they show good
  durability but brass is also readily recycled at the end of the products
  working life.

• Brass is lead and nickel free

• Brass soft muted honey colouring, makes it the most complimentary of all metal finishes.
