2 inch ball-end head pin 24 gauge
Date:April 24, 2011
"These work great for earings; easy to use and shape. Best to be gentle with this gauge as it can be crimped if it is forcefully bent. If you like dangling earrings, get the 3 inch pins."

Pros: Size, Price
Cons: Ease of Use, Fragile, Quality
"I don't know why because I've never had problems from head pins at Artbeads, however, this one handled more like a silver plated and not a silver head pin. Maybe I was wrapping too tight or just had a bad batch. Nevertheless, the tips of the wraps kept on breaking up on me."

"These are truly a great item, I use these a lot. the ball end is nice and large enough, that using a small bead or bead cap doesn't let the pin slide through and come apart."

"Artbeads sells the very best ball end head pins on the market. Not all ball end head pins are created equal. Other jewelry suppliers sell pins that have uneven size and shape of ends. Artbeads' are clean and uniform every time, every order."

ball head pin review
Date:September 26, 2006
"Nice product, but I have had a few where the ball has popped off the end of the pin. A customer lost all the beads on her earring after a week of wearing them made with one of these head pins. Also, when too much pressure is applied, the ball can come off. This has only happened to a few. Most of them work perfectly."
