1.5-inch Gunmetal-Plated 23 Gauge Eye Pin

Head pins and eye pins are ideal beading components for hanging beads, pendants and other various uses. Simply create a Simple Loop on the straight end of the pin to attach it almost anywhere! Gunmetal-plated beading components are the ideal choice for those of us who like to keep our jewelry a little darker. Mystery is added to the equation with these dark grey components. As these items are plated, they will be extremely durable and lightweight. Top quality items can always be found at Artbeads.com!

Cons: Fragile, Quality
"The breakage rate of these eye pins is so high that I cannot recommend them. They not only break with the most careful of handling while making loops, the preformed eye breaks off with even the gentlest twist to open it.
I was threading crystals onto the pins, then making simple loops (not wrapped) at the other end in order to link them into some chain. 4 of the 20 pins broke during this process, then when attaching them to the chain 5 of the 6 survivors broke at the top of the loop. At this point I gave up, got out a different product and started again.
The brittleness is apparent as metal fatigue rather than rigidity.
