50 Silver Eye Pins (18mm)

Description

Silver Eye Pins 18mm

These silver eye pins 18mm in length answer that question with precision—short enough to keep focus on the bead, long enough to wrap securely above it. Each pin measures just under two centimetres from loop to tip, creating dangles that sit close to ear wires or chain links without excess wire showing through.

• Each pin measures 18 millimetres in total length
• Loop-to-tip construction in silver-toned base metal
• Wire gauge suitable for beads with 0.8mm to 1.2mm holes
• Approximately fifty pins per packet
• Pre-formed loop eliminates need for loop pliers on one end
• Straight shaft accepts beads up to 12mm before wrapping space runs out

Thread a 6mm round gemstone, create a wrapped loop above it, and you’ve built an earring component that hangs 15mm from the ear wire—a length that works beautifully for everyday wear. String three 4mm Swarovski bicones in graduated colours for gradient drops on charm bracelets. The compact length also suits macramé weavers who embed single dangles into knotted patterns, where anything longer would tangle in the cord work. Because the eye loop sits at one end, you can link multiple pins together for segmented chain effects without soldering.

The silver finish pairs cleanly with sterling silver components in mixed-metal designs, though slight variation in tone may occur between batches. When working with this length, remember that only 6-8mm of straight wire remains after your bead slides on—plan your wraps accordingly, using round-nose pliers to form tight coils that don’t consume more wire than available. These sit particularly well alongside freshwater pearl chips in neutral palettes, where the understated length keeps attention on the organic shapes rather than the hardware.
