1.5-inch Silver-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! Silver-plated beading components are an economical alternative to sterling silver. These plated components are all top quality and work just as well as the non-plated items do, but for a fraction of the price. Beat the heat of rising sterling silver products and buy plated items. Save the sterling for your big designs and use silver-plated components for your day to day designs.

Pros: Price
Cons: Fragile, Quality
"As other reviewers stated, this eye pin is very delicate and breaks easily. I ordered a few extra and i'm glad I did. You really have to hold your breathe when bending or twisting the pin. Overall it's what you get for that price."

Quality not great
Date:November 18, 2010
Pros: Price, Size
Cons: Quality, Fragile
Creation: Necklace
"After reading previous reviews on this product, I agree with the majority of the other reviewers about the quality. The first eye pin I used to wrap a bead with broke. I had to go through a couple before the 'right one' made it. Great price but a little frustrating."

Pros: Price, Size
Cons: Quality
Creation: Earrings
"These eye pins worked well for the earrings I was making. My only complaint is that about 1 out of 10 of them would snap off after trimming my simple loop and re-aligning the loop so it would close."

A bit flimsy..
Date:July 8, 2010
Pros: Price, Size, Color
Cons: Quality, Fragile, Ease of Use
"These are pretty flimsy. Probably best if used for dangling earring, but definitely not for necklaces and bracelets as they bend and break very easily. They look nice, though, like sterling."
