Material:
- Iron Core: The head pins are made of iron wire, providing a strong and affordable base.
- Copper Finish: The description mentions “Copper” but doesn’t specify the exact application. Here are two possibilities:
- Copper Plating: A thin layer of copper is applied to the iron wire for a warm reddish-brown metallic copper finish. This is a common way to achieve a copper look on head pins.
- Copper Paint or Coating: The iron wire is painted or coated with a copper-colored lacquer or other material. This might be less durable than plating and more prone to chipping or wearing off.
Color:
- Copper: The head pins will have a copper appearance. The exact shade of copper (bright copper, antique copper) might not be specified by the seller.
Size:
- Length: 1 inch (25.4 millimeters (mm)). This is a common size for head pins, suitable for a variety of jewelry making applications.
- Head size: The description doesn’t specify the head size (diameter) of the head pin. This is usually a small round or ball head that provides a base for attaching beads, findings, or other components. Look for details from the seller or similar products if head size is important for your project.
Quantity:
- Pack of 500 Pieces (Approx. 50 Grams): You’ll receive approximately 500 head pins, but the exact number depends on the manufacturing process. The weight (50 grams) provides an estimate, not a guaranteed number.
Uses:
- Head pins are versatile findings in jewelry making, used for:
- Attaching beads, findings, and other components to create earrings, pendants, brooches, and other jewelry pieces.
- The loop at the top of the head pin allows you to connect it to jump rings, clasps, or other findings.
- You can create loops or coils at the top of the head pin using round-nose pliers to further customize your designs.
