Sterling Silver 1.25-inch Ball-end Head Pin, 24 gauge

These sterling silver 24 gauge ball head pins are only 1 1/4 inches long. Stop wasting silver by snipping an inch off of your longer head pins, when this may be all you need.

Swell product!
Date:August 29, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Unique, Versatile, Ease of Use
Creation: earrings
"I don't know why I didn't discover these sooner, they're just great. Makes earrings look neater, more finished, eliminates the need to put a silver bead or spacer at the bottom, just all around handy and good looking. I highly recommend them. (I've been making jewelry for around 40 yrs.)"

"These pins add a nice twist to a usually flat sopt. I've had occasional trouble with the ball popping off but I think it has more to do with me exerting too much force."

Good Value, but balls pop off
Date:September 30, 2006
"I've used these headpins to give my jewelry a more finished look. They're a great price, but the quality is so so. The balls on the end tend to pop off rather easily so buy a bit more than you need to cover the loss. I'd still buy them because of the great price."
