60 Silver Plated Headpins – (40mm)

Description

40mm Silver Plated Headpins

How many beads can you stack on a single wire before running out of space? These extended-length pins give you room for five to seven medium-sized beads, letting you build graduated drops where colour shifts from light to dark or create earrings with distinct sections separated by spacer beads. The 40mm silver plated headpins measure from flat base to cut end, providing a working length that accommodates both the beads themselves and the wrapped loop you’ll form at the top.

• Total length: 40 millimetres from flat head to wire end
• Wire gauge: 0.6mm thickness (approximately 22-gauge)
• Head diameter: 2mm flat disc prevents most bead holes from sliding off
• Plating: bright silver finish over base metal core
• Quantity: 60 flat head pins per resealable pack
• Compatible with bead holes 0.7mm and larger

String three graduated 6mm gemstone rounds followed by a bicone crystal for earring drops that catch light at the bottom, or thread seed beads in ombré sequence to create fringe elements for macramé wall hangings. The 0.6mm wire thickness headpins bend easily with round-nose pliers yet hold their shape once wrapped, making them suitable for beginners learning wrapped loops. Use them to dangle single metal charms from chain necklaces, adding movement without the bulk of jump rings.

The silver plating photographs slightly cooler than sterling, with a bright reflective finish that complements both warm and cool-toned beads. Under direct light the surface reads as mirror-like, while diffused indoor lighting softens it to a subtle sheen. This length pairs naturally with sterling silver ear wires for drops that hang 50-55mm total from the earlobe, creating noticeable movement without excessive weight.
