Material:
- Iron Core: The eye pins are made of iron wire, a strong and affordable base metal for findings.
- Silver Finish: The description mentions “Silver” but doesn’t specify the exact application. Here are two possibilities:
- Silver Plating: A thin layer of silver is applied to the iron core for a silver appearance. This is a common way to achieve a silver look on eye pins.
- Silver Paint or Coating: The iron core is painted or coated with a silver-colored lacquer or other material. This is less durable than plating and might chip or wear off over time.
Color:
- Silver: The eye pins will have a silver appearance. The exact shade of silver (bright silver, antique silver) might not be specified by the seller.
Size:
- Length: 1.5 inches (38 millimeters (mm)). This is a common size for eye pins, offering versatility for various jewelry designs.
- 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. 400 Pieces): The exact number of eye pins is not guaranteed, but around 400 is expected. The weight (50 grams) provides an estimate.
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.
