An eye pin finds innumerable uses in a jewelry maker's life. Irrespective of your favored choice of basic material or specialization - be it Murano glass beaded necklaces, Swarovski crystal earrings or anklets, or lampwork bead adorned bracelets, an eye pin is a finding that you cannot do away with. A single piece of bendable wire with an eye on one of its ends, the eye pin comes handy in making bead dangles, for wire working a gemstone pendant, and even for linking beads together in bracelets. Once the eye pin is strung through the bead or pendant, its eye can be used to link it to other components of the jewelry and the excess wire peaking out can be looped around the wire to prevent the bead or pendant from slipping through.

At GemMall.com, we carry gold-filled as well as sterling silver eye pins in a range of lengths and thickness. The thickness of the eye pins are measured in gauges; the lower the gauge, the thicker will be the wire and vice versa. You can also find a range of simple as well as ornamental head pins, jump rings, and a number of other findings at our online store. We also carry different types of pliers and other jewelry tools that you may require to make your own style of beaded jewelry.
