20 New Gold Plated Eye Pins – (30mm)

Description

30mm Gold Plated Eye Pins

The warm lustre of gold plate catches workshop light differently than raw brass or bright silver—softer, warmer, with just enough depth to complement amber, coral, and honey-toned stones without competing. These 30mm gold plated eye pins arrive ready to thread, bend, and finish, their pre-formed loops eliminating the tedious step of creating uniform eyes from plain wire. At 0.8mm gauge, they hold their shape through multiple manipulations yet remain pliable enough for clean wrapped loops above heavier beads.

• Length: 30mm from base of loop to pin tip
• Wire gauge: 0.8mm diameter for structural integrity
• Loop opening: approximately 2.2mm internal diameter
• Finish: electroplated gold over base metal core
• Pack quantity: 20 eye pins for jewellery making
• Compatible with beads featuring holes up to 2mm

String a single 8mm faceted crystal rondelle onto one of these gold plated findings, form a wrapped loop above it, and you’ve created a bead link for charm bracelets where each element needs independent movement. The 30mm length accommodates stacked bead combinations—three 6mm rounds with spacers between, or a graduated trio of gemstone chips—while leaving enough wire above for secure wrapping. Thread them through the drilled top of teardrop gemstone beads to create chandelier earring components, or use them as connectors in multi-strand necklace designs where each strand terminates in a bead dangle rather than a simple jump ring.

The electroplated surface resists tarnish better than uncoated brass but benefits from storage in anti-tarnish pouches between projects. The 2.2mm loop diameter accepts jewellery making chain links up to 2mm thickness, and pairs comfortably with standard 20-22 gauge jump rings. When working with the 0.8mm wire, round-nose pliers in the 2-3mm jaw range produce consistent wrapped loops without flattening the wire cross-section—essential for maintaining that polished, professional finish across multiple dangles in the same piece.
