What Are Headpins and Eyepins?
Headpins
A headpin is a straight metal wire with one end finished by a flat disc, ball, or decorative cap.
- Acts like a nail: slide beads onto the shaft, and the head prevents them from slipping off.
- Ideal for making dangles, drops, pendants, and earring components.
Eyepins
An eyepin is a wire with a small loop (eye) at one end.
- The eye loop acts as a connector.
- Beads are strung onto the shaft, and the other end is formed into another loop.
- Used for creating links, connectors, and chained elements in necklaces or bracelets.
Why Use Stainless Steel?
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Strength | Doesn’t easily bend or break like softer metals. Holds heavy beads securely. |
| Tarnish-free | Doesn’t oxidize, rust, or change color over time. |
| Hypoallergenic | Safe for sensitive skin, unlike many plated metals. |
| Reusable | You can unbend and reuse them without snapping. |
Especially useful for bracelets, keychains, and earrings that take more wear and tear.
