Long straight headpins for crafting durable, long lasting jewelry creations. It can be difficult to find stainless steel headpins in this versatile 21 gauge size that are over 2 inches in length! The generous 3 inch length more provides an adequate amount of wire to properly finish off or attach the ends.
Stainless steel wire is stiffer and more sturdy than base metal mixes. Although this makes it a great choice quality wise please be aware that if you are used to working with base metal wires in this gauge, stainless steel does not bend as easily.

What is 304 Stainless Steel?
It is the most commonly used and versatile of stainless steel blends. In addition to its high durability, it is also resistant to corrosion and oxidation. The composition of the metal contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Stainless steel has a very small percentage of nickel and is therfore considered "hypoallegenic" by most standards. People with severe nickel allergies should consider alternative options. Compared to 316 Surgical Stainless Steel, the 304 blend is a bit more flexible for jewelry work. Due to the natural flexibility of 21 gauge wire some eye pins may arrive slightly bent. This does not impact the functionality of the head pin. The wire can easily be bent back to the original shape using pliers. Please note: These are naturally a silver tone. They are not silver plated.
