20 New Gold Plated Eye Pins – (20mm)

Description

Gold Plated Eye Pins 20mm

At exactly 20mm from loop to tip, these gold plated eye pins 20mm answer that question for compact earring designs, tight cluster work, and bead dangles where every millimetre counts. The 2.2mm eye loop provides ample clearance for jump rings and ear wires without the bulk of longer findings, while the 0.8mm wire gauge holds crystal rondelles and small gemstones securely without bending under their weight.

• Total length: 20mm including formed eye loop
• Eye opening diameter: approximately 2.2mm
• Wire thickness: 0.8mm gauge (20-gauge equivalent)
• Finish: warm gold electroplating over base metal core
• Quantity: 20 eye pins jewellery making findings per pack
• Suitable for beads with minimum 0.9mm drill holes

These shortened pins excel in layered necklace construction where you’re attaching a single 4mm crystal or pearl as a floating accent between chain segments. Thread one 6mm round bead, form a wrapped loop at the top, and you’ve created a dangle that sits snug beneath a bail without excessive drop length. The gold findings Australia crafters prefer also work beautifully in charm bracelet assembly, letting you add tiny birthstone beads or metal pendants without the visual weight of standard 50mm pins. Because the wire diameter sits at 0.8mm, it slides easily through seed beads and most gemstone chips while maintaining enough rigidity to form clean, professional loops.

Form your loops with round-nose pliers positioned 8–10mm from the bead top to avoid wasting wire length. The plating responds well to gentle bending but will show wear at stress points if you repeatedly re-work the same area. These pair naturally with 6mm gemstone rounds when you need a beaded dangle that doesn’t overwhelm delicate chain or fine ear wires, keeping proportions balanced in minimalist designs where visual breathing room matters as much as the components themselves.
