Use Different Headpins to Create Different Earrings


I think there is no need for more introduction about headpins as they are widely used in jewelry making for a long time. And almost all the jewelry makers and jewelry retailers know how to use them, even if they are beginners. Yes, they are very easy to be used. But there are something you also need to pay more attention when you choose headpins for creating different style earrings, of course, as well as other jewelry designs.


We all know that headpins are not only available in different colors, metals and sizes (include both length and thickness). Different jewelry designs will need different headpins. Therefore, you need to pay more attention to their difference once you choose them for your earrings. For example, if you would like to create a pair of vintage style earrings, and the earring hooks and other jewelry findings you want to use have red copper color, so you need to choose the red copper head pins for your earrings. And if you would like to string several beads on the same pin, you need to consider the length of pin if it is long enough. Make sure there is enough extra length to make a loop on the top of beads after you strung all the beads on the pin.  
With the same reason, if you only want to string one bead on the headpins, you can choose a short pin to make a bead pendant. Make sure there is enough extra length for making a loop at the top of beads. Most of time, we don’t need to worry about if the thickness of headpins are suitable for our beads. In fact, there are some common sizes for these pins, such as 0.5mm, 0.7mm and so on. They are suitable for many jewelry beads and findings. But does single jewelry bead only can use short headpins to make bead pendants? No, you can also string it on long pin and wire wrap the rest length on the pin like jewelry wire at the top of bead. Just like the earrings below.
Of course, there are some beads have their hole drilled from top to bottom, which makes them have a long hole and need a long headpin to string, even if for one bead. From above information, we know that headpins are tiny but versatile in jewelry making. And what you need to do is choosing the correct size and colors for your designs.
