Head Pins and Eye Pins
Head Pins and Eye Pins are Indispensable Jewelry Making Supplies. Jewelry makers use the 'head' on a head pin to stop precious gemstones,
crystals or beads from falling off the end of a piece of wire. Jewelry
headpins come in a huge variety of sizes (1/2 inch to 4 inches) and
metals (sterling silver, silver plated, gold vermeil, brass, copper) but they usually comprise a flattened end, loop, or ball at one end of a
short piece of wire.
Eye pins have the same basic function as head pins, but instead of a horizontal piece on the end of the pin there is a loop. This is helpful when you want to add a dangle to the end of an earring to create movement.
