Material:
- Base Metal Core: The description doesn’t specify the exact core metal, but it’s likely an affordable metal like iron, brass, or copper.
- Gold-Colored Finish: The description mentions “Golden” but doesn’t specify the application method. Here are two possibilities:
- Gold Plating: A thin layer of gold is applied to the base metal core for a golden appearance. This is a common way to achieve a gold look on eye pins.
- Gold Paint or Coating: The base metal core is painted or coated with a gold-colored lacquer or other material. This is less durable than plating and might chip or wear off over time.
Color:
- Golden: The eye pins will have a gold appearance. The exact shade of gold (bright gold, antique gold) might not be specified by the seller.
Size:
- Length: 2 inches (50.8 millimeters (mm)). This is a longer size for eye pins, suitable for creating dangle earrings with larger drops or for designs with more space between components.
- Wire Gauge: The description doesn’t mention the wire gauge (thickness) of the eye pins. This is an important detail to consider, as thicker gauges are sturdier but less flexible, while thinner gauges are more delicate. Look for details from the seller or similar products.
Quantity:
- Sold As A Pack Of 50 Grams (Approx. 250+ Pieces): You’ll receive approximately 250+ eye pins, but the exact number depends on the manufacturing process. The weight (50 grams) provides an estimate, not a guaranteed number.
Uses:
- Eye pins are versatile findings in jewelry making, used for:
- Creating dangle or drop earrings by looping the eye around a jump ring or head pin and attaching beads or charms. The longer length of these eye pins allows for larger dangles.
- Making wrapped loops and components by coiling the wire around beads or findings.
- Stringing beads onto the eye pin and creating linear designs with more space between beads.
