Pros: Size, Quality, Color
Other beading styles or techniques: Beadwork, wire wrapping
Creation: A pair of Kitty-Cat earrings.
"I was impressed with the color and the quality of these headpins, they have a lovely gold (not brassy) color and at 20 gauge are not easily bent. Normally I would order ball-tip headpins but I was making a pair of earrings using a special "Kitty-Cat" bead cap and really needed a standard nail head. After making the earrings I must say that I am very pleased with the way the nail head on these pins lie flat against the bead cap and is unobtrusive, giving a profession look to the completed earrings."

Cons: Fragile

"Gold-filled 1.5 inch head pins are just the right length for earring designs when several smaller beads are used. I tend to wire wrap rather than loop for a stronger hold."

Just Perfect!

Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Quality
"This head pin is very nice. Ups the quality potion of any earring. I find that I avoid waste with these because I do not have to cut off as much excess wire when making smaller lenght drops."

would recommend but with reservations
Date:June 15, 2011
Pros: Size, Versatile, Ease of Use, Color
Cons: Price, Quality
"The color, length, and ease of use make these headpins versatile. However, I found I was having to cull out the less than centered. In essence that makes this product at least twice as costly. Plus I am left with many pins that I will have to cut the heads off and utilize some other way. Offer the ball-end headpins in GF and I would be a happier customer."
