30 Gold Plated Headpins – (38mm)

Description

38mm Gold Plated Headpins

Earring makers working with graduated bead arrangements know that length dictates design possibilities. With just under four centimetres from flat base to cut point, these 38mm gold plated headpins accommodate three to five medium-sized beads depending on your stacking choices. The warm gold electroplating holds its tone through regular wear, while the 2mm flat head provides a stable foundation without drawing attention away from your bead selection.

• Length measures 38mm from flat base to wire end
• Flat head diameter spans 2mm for reliable bead retention
• Wire gauge sits at 0.6mm thickness, suitable for most drilled beads with standard holes
• Gold plated finish over base metal core
• Each pack contains 30 flat head pins jewellery makers can use across multiple projects

This length works particularly well for drop earrings featuring 6mm to 8mm gemstone beads stacked in graduating sizes, where you need enough wire to create a tidy wrapped loop but don’t want excess length adding unnecessary weight. The 0.6mm headpins thread easily through Czech glass rounds, fire-polished rondelles, and lightweight metal spacers without forcing or splitting delicate drilled holes. These also suit charm dangles on bracelet projects where you’re attaching single feature beads that need a clean, finished base.

When forming your wrapped loops, leave approximately 8-10mm of wire above your top bead to create a professional coil. The gold plating responds well to gentle manipulation with round-nose pliers, though avoid excessive reworking in the same spot to preserve the surface finish. These headpins pair naturally with gold-filled ear wires and jump rings when you’re maintaining a consistent warm metal tone throughout your design.
