60 Gold Plated Flat Head Pins – (40mm)

Description

40mm Gold Plated Headpins

Warm metallic tones catch the light on these 40mm gold plated headpins, each one finished with a discreet flat head that anchors beads without competing for attention. The 0.6mm gauge strikes a balance between flexibility for simple loops and enough rigidity to support medium-weight beads without bending. Their modest 2mm flat head sits flush against bead holes, creating a clean foundation for earring drops and pendant dangles. Sixty pieces in each pack means you can work through multiple design iterations or produce small batches without constantly restocking.

String a single faceted rondelle onto one of these pins, form a wrapped loop above it, and you’ve created a simple charm for link bracelets. The length accommodates graduated bead sequences—try loading three to four beads of decreasing size to build tapered drops for chandelier earrings. Because the wire gauge sits at 0.6mm, it threads smoothly through the holes in gemstone beads and Czech glass without forcing, while the gold headpins bulk pack quantity lets you experiment with asymmetrical pairs or mix-and-match colour combinations across a jewellery set.

Form loops with round-nose pliers after loading your beads, trimming excess wire to about 8-10mm above the top bead for standard wrapped loops. The plating withstands regular handling during construction, though avoid prolonged water exposure to maintain the finish. These pair naturally with metal spacer beads in matching gold tones, or create contrast by threading them through oxidised silver components. Store unused pins flat in a dry container, and consider using them alongside ear wires and jump rings in the same finish to unify your component palette.

At this length, the finished drop typically measures 35-38mm once you’ve formed the top loop, depending on how many beads you load and your loop size. This dimension works well for earrings that hang just past the jawline without overwhelming the face, and the gold plating photographs with a soft yellow glow rather than a brassy shine, which translates beautifully in product images for online selling.
