8 Grams Gold Plated Ball Headpins – (70mm) – Approx 30-35 Headpins

Description

Gold Plated Ball Headpins

These gold plated ball headpins with their warm gold finish ready to work, soft enough that you can straighten a transit bend with your fingers or reshape the shaft mid-project without pliers. The 1.8mm ball end acts as a subtle stopper for beads ranging from tiny 2mm spacers to chunky 12mm gemstones, while the length gives you room to experiment with layered compositions.

• 70mm total length from ball to cut end
• 0.7mm gauge wire thickness, soft temper brass core
• 1.8mm diameter ball head in nickel-free gold plating
• Sold by weight: approximately 30-35 pieces per 8 gram pack
• Intentionally soft for hand-bending and custom shaping

Thread graduated sequences of Czech glass rondelles for cascading earrings that move with the wearer, or build asymmetric pendant gemstone clusters where each gold plated ball headpins bend at a different angle. The extra length accommodates boho-style stacks of mixed materials—polymer clay, wooden rounds, and metal spacers—finished with a simple loop. Wrap the exposed wire around itself for decorative coils, or bend the entire shaft into a gentle curve before adding beads for an organic arc.

Because the brass is deliberately soft, expect a few pins to arrive with slight bends from shipping. Straighten them by rolling gently between your palms, or use the bend as a design feature. The gold plating sits over nickel-free brass, maintaining its lustre through moderate wear. Pair these with metal spacers in matching tones, or let the warm gold contrast against cool silver accents in mixed-metal work. At 0.7mm, they thread easily through most bead holes without forcing.
