Material:
- Iron Core: The eye pins are made of iron wire, providing a strong and affordable base metal for findings.
- Silver Plating: A thin layer of silver is applied to the iron core for a bright silver appearance. Silver plating offers a more appealing finish compared to bare iron and increases tarnish resistance.
Color:
- Silver: The eye pins will have a bright and shiny silver look. The exact shade of silver (bright silver, antique silver) 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.
