Description

70mm Silver Plated Ball Headpins

Why do malleable findings matter when you’re working with delicate chains or wire-wrapping above a dangle? These 70mm silver plated ball headpins arrive intentionally soft—a characteristic that allows you to straighten any transit bends with finger pressure alone, then shape controlled loops without the metal resisting your round-nose pliers. The 0.7mm gauge threads through most drilled beads while maintaining just enough structure to support multi-bead stacks, and that structure matters when you’re building earrings that hang freely without kinking mid-wear.

• Extended 70mm length accommodates multiple beads or long pendant drops
• Ball head measures 1.2mm diameter, secure enough to hold most bead holes without being visually dominant
• Silver plated finish over lead-free, cadmium-free, nickel-free metal core
• Sold in 7 gram packs containing approximately 28-30 individual pins
• Fine 0.7mm wire gauge suitable for pearls, gemstones, and Czech glass with standard drill holes
• Soft temper allows easy loop formation and manual straightening

Thread a graduated stack of faceted rondelles down the shaft, leave 10mm at the top, and form a wrapped loop that connects directly to ear wires—the length gives you room to build movement into statement earrings without the weight becoming uncomfortable. Use them as extenders in chandelier designs where you need long, clean drops between tiers, or run a single feature bead down to the ball head and let the exposed wire create negative space in minimalist designs. The soft wire also accepts texturing: run a chasing hammer along the exposed section before adding beads to create subtle facets that catch light.

Straightening is genuinely simple—lay the pin on a flat surface and roll a dowel or pen barrel along its length, or hold both ends and flex gently until it reads true. Store them flat in compartmentalized boxes to prevent re-bending, and when you’re ready to finish a loop, the plating won’t flake under plier pressure the way cheaper alternatives do. Pair them with drilled gemstone chips or layered fire-polished rounds for earrings that move naturally without structural compromise.
