If you've been keeping an eye on my shop you'd see that I've been adding tons of new styles/gauges of headpins. My goal is to become more of a one-stop shop for headpins (especially sterling silver) because few other sellers on Etsy offer them and I know from experience it can be a pain to amass all the various types of headpins you'll need.
20 gauge argentium - as suggested by a customer. These would be fabulous to bend into earwires - just don't forget to file the ends so they don't slice anyone's earlobes open.
22 gauge argentium - great as earwires for very light earrings or for larger beads.
24 gauge fine silver gauge headpins
...and now any headpin order can be oxidized for a flat fee of $5. I'm seeing a lot of jewelry artists do some amazing work with oxidized metals, so I figured I'd make their lives a bit easier.
So there you have it! More headpins you can shake a stick at.
My very next project is adding 24 gauge argentium headpins...it's a glaring omission I will fix soon.
As always, these headpins (and more!) are available in
my shop.
Like everything else, headpins are subject to natural selection. Especially with 28 gauge argentium sterling silver, there are plenty of headpins that get a little wacky. Here are two (three, actually) that didn't make the cut. Not to worry - the scrap will be returned to the metal shop and recycled.
