Material:
- Iron Core: The eye pins are made of iron wire, providing a strong and affordable base metal.
- Golden Plating: A thin layer of gold is applied to the iron core for a bright gold appearance. This is a more durable option compared to paint or coating.
Color:
- Golden: The eye pins will have a shiny gold look. The exact shade of gold (bright gold, antique gold) might not be specified by the seller.
Size:
- Length: 1.5 inches (38.1 millimeters (mm)). This is a common size for eye pins, offering versatility for various jewelry designs, especially for earrings with medium-sized dangles or drops.
- Wire Gauge: The description doesn’t mention the wire gauge (thickness) of the eye pins. This is an important detail to consider. Look for details from the seller or similar products. Here’s a general guideline:
- Thicker gauges (20-22 gauge) are sturdier for heavier components but less flexible for intricate work.
- Thinner gauges (24-26 gauge) are more flexible for coiling and delicate designs but may not be suitable for very heavy items.
Quantity:
- Sold As A Pack Of 50 Grams (Approx. 400+ Pieces): You’ll receive approximately 400+ 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.
- Making wrapped loops and components by coiling the wire around beads or findings.
- Stringing beads onto the eye pin and creating linear designs.
