20 Copper Plated Ball Headpins – (45mm)

Description

Copper Headpins 45mm Ball Pin for Earring Assembly

Wire-wrapping a tiered earring design starts with choosing the right foundation pin. These copper headpins 45mm in length give you room to stack multiple beads vertically before forming your loop—enough span for three to four graduated rounds or a cluster of chunky gemstone chips. The ball end measures 1.2mm across, just wide enough to anchor most bead holes without slipping through, while the slender 0.5mm wire gauge threads easily through delicate pearls and glass. Supplied slightly bent from packaging, they straighten with a quick finger adjustment—no tools required, though nylon-jaw pliers speed the process if you’re prepping a batch.

• Total length: 45mm from ball to cut end
• Ball headpins copper plated over base metal for warm rose-gold tone
• Wire thickness: 0.5mm (24-gauge equivalent)
• Ball diameter: 1.2mm—secures seed beads size 6/0 and larger
• Pack quantity: 20 pins
• Arrives slightly curved; straightens manually with ease

This gauge suits lightweight earring construction where you’re threading faceted rondelles, small freshwater pearls, or Czech Czech glass rounds in 4mm to 8mm sizes. The extra length accommodates charm dangles beneath a bead cap, or lets you create a wrapped loop above a focal bead for attaching to ear wires. Try pairing them with turquoise chips and small copper spacer beads for a cohesive metallic palette, or thread citrine nuggets for an autumnal colour story. The thin wire won’t crowd tight drill holes, making these jewellery headpins Australia makers favour for repairs and quick prototypes.

Copper plating develops natural patina over months, deepening from bright penny to antique rose. Store in a low-humidity environment to slow oxidation, or embrace the aged finish for vintage-inspired pieces. The 0.5mm diameter pairs cleanly with standard ear wires and jump rings without needing file work on the cut end. Each pack ships from our warehouse with stock replenished weekly to keep your bench stocked year-round.
