Eyepins and Headpins—Essential Findings for Jewelry Making

The mainly used pins in jewelry making are eyepins and headpins. They are used to link one component or beads to another, or string beads as link or pendant on necklace, bracelet and earrings.

Headpins are pins with horizontal pieces on the end. Well, some headpins have a ball on the end, which are named as ball headpins. As we all know that eyepins have the same basic function as headpins, but instead of a horizontal piece on the end of the pin there is a loop. This is helpful when you want to add an extra dangle to the end of an earring, a bracelet or a necklace. Both eyepins and headpins are available in various colors and sizes. No matter you like to create vintage style or fashion style jewelry, you can easily get the pins what you need.
