Argentium® Silver 76.2mm Ball Head Pin, 3/4-Hard

The ball at the end of this Argentium® Silver head pin adds a flash of white metal to your designs, as it serves to hold beads in place. Because of a very fine gauge, the pin is perfect for creating drops, dangles and other components. It is a good partner for beads with especially small holes, including pearls and gemstones. Ball head pins provide a decorative, bead-like end (or starting point) for the components you make with them. Simply choose a head size larger than the hole in your bead or other finding. Metal that is 3/4-hard is work-hardened but not quite past its malleability; ideal for forming components that need to allow shaping but, once shaped, hold their form. Choose an appropriate pin thickness based on your design and the hole size of your beads or findings so that they will be held securely in place without wobble or risk of loss. Made with a touch of germanium, Argentium presents a bright-white color that is closer to fine silver than traditional sterling, yet is highly resistant to firescale and less likely to tarnish under most conditions. It welds flawlessly and is ideal for fusing techniques. All Argentium is guaranteed by Argentium International Ltd. Your customers will appreciate the value and convenience of brighter-white sterling silver designs that resist tarnishing and keep on shining. Manufactured to exacting quality standards in our solar-powered facility.
