30 Gold Plated Headpins – (26mm)

Description

Gold Plated Headpins 26mm

Their abbreviated length makes these gold plated headpins 26mm favourites for stud-style dangles that sit close to the earlobe, where longer findings would throw off balance. The warm brass-tone plating catches light without competing against focal beads, while the flat 2mm disc anchors everything from single crystal drops to three-bead stacks. Unlike ball-ended alternatives, the paddle-shaped base stays hidden inside larger-holed beads or sits flush beneath small Czech glass rounds.

• Length: 26 millimetres total from flat head to cut end
• Flat head diameter: 2mm paddle disc prevents beads slipping
• Wire gauge: 0.6mm thickness threads through most seed beads and crystals
• Material: base metal with gold electroplating
• Quantity: 30 flat head pins jewellery findings per pack
• Compatible with 0.6mm gauge headpins wire tools and standard round-nose pliers

Their modest height makes them naturals for charm bracelet connections where you’re attaching beaded drops to split rings without excessive dangle length. String two 4mm Swarovski bicones above a metal pendant charm, form a wrapped loop, and you’ve got a proportional accent that doesn’t swing wildly. They’re equally suited to chandelier earring components, where multiple short 26mm findings gold strands layer beneath a decorative connector without tangling. The fine 0.6mm diameter slides easily through seed beads in size 11/0 or larger, letting you build colour gradients in tight vertical spaces.

Cut ends accept simple loops or wrapped loops depending on your bead load—lighter arrangements need only a basic turn, while heavier glass or stone beads benefit from a few wire wraps above the loop for security. The plating holds up well under room-temperature handling, though avoid prolonged water exposure if you’re incorporating them into gemstone pieces destined for frequent wear. Store any unused pins in a sealed bag to maintain the finish between projects.
