"I use these head pin constantly for earring and other items. They are the perfect size for single small to medium beads. The wire gauge is thin so they are better suited to looped and wrapped."

Excellent quality
Date:March 29, 2013
Pros: Quality
"After buying headpins in various sizes from other online stores, I have found that Artbead's headpins are my favorites. As compared to another large jewelry website, they are well-polished, consistent, and just look better. Even the head of the pin is polished, which I think improves the look of the finished product.
I do hope that eventually they will be tarnish resistant as well.

"...you need a smaller gauge. I pretty much only use these when pearls are involved as their drill holes are very tiny. I have had a few of these break while attempting to make a wrapped loop but if you want to dangle someting delicate, you have no choice!"

good headpins
Date:November 11, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Unique, Versatile, Ease of Use
"I was skeptical when I ordered thes because there was NO information on how wide the HEAD OF THE PIN is in the information. Some heads are so small they just go through the hole in the bead. However to my delight these are just perfect for most all beads. I also love the fact that they are only 1" long because it cuts down on the waste I always have with the longer pins."

"I find the headpins to be of great quality and a great price as I have checked out other sites for their prices. Also your prices are comparable to some of the sites that sell wholesale and with you, I do not have to be a wholesaler which is great!!!!!"

"I LOVE these headpins, and replace them without hesitation when I run low. They are simply the best for wrapping - 1" is the perfect size to do a wrapped loop with a 4mm bicone. The 24-guage can be wrapped easily with just your finger, so it's my guage of choice. They're flexible enough to work with, yet strong enough to hold. Perfect! And you won't find a better price on these pins anywhere - trust me, I've looked! These are a must-have for people who do wraps or loops."
