LDCREEE 200pc Gold Solid Brass Head Ball pins for Jewellery Making- Nickel Free Hypoallergenic- 50mm (2 inch), 22 Gauge

Above is a pic of the gold pins! As you can see from the picture far too many of the gold pins I ordered were bent....nothing like the straight gold pins you advertised that I ordered...Product was nothing like that as advertised and ordered! The pins should be straight....not bent. Please make it right?

I’d say practically every one of the 200 pins arrived bent. Some of them worse than others. The positive about the material is that it’s long and very pliable making it easy to work with, the negative is that very same thing - that the pins bend out of shape super easily. My mother only wears yellow gold jewellery so I purchased these to make some drop earrings for her. But I am extremely hesitant to use them in my for sale earrings in the event that customers complain about a drop earring bending out of shape. I have purchased sterling silver head pins from Adabele which are unfortunately a bit shorter than I’d like and they are not as pliable as these but they also feel a lot sturdier and I’m not worried about bad customer reviews. Maybe these are good for bending and looping but for use as straight pins within jewellery I’m not so sure.

These head pins are good if you do not need strong pins. They are easy to work with because the metal bends very easily. I would have preferred a more rigid pin, but so far none of them have broken on me. Of course I do take extra care when using them because they are so thin. They do look good when used on the jewelry. The ball is small, but works ok for most of my beads. I do not think I will reorder from this company because I do prefer a more sturdy pin for my jewelry.

These pins are only so-so....will do for now. Lots of bent and broken pins...I suggest looking elsewhere.

Average weight and thickness, bend well, color more yellowish then golden. Some ball ends are irregular, discolored or off center. If using larger beads you don't notice, but smaller crystals and the like, not so good, pins tend to not fit well and chip the bead.recommend for larger beads and acrylic beads
