Gold headpins?

[Mervione]

I need help with findings nice headpins in gold (Karat doesn?t really matter, just not lower than 14 k.). I`ve looked at Firemountain and the ones they sell are too thin I think, and I?ve looked at Bellafindings but those have flat ends which I find unappealing. Any suggestions? If any of you know a place that sell rose gold pins then I?d be very happy but yellow gold is fine too.

I could get some in , given time - how many do you want? alternately try Finding King

Rio Grande catalog would have them as well. There is a phone number on the following page.

You can't go wrong with G&S Metals. http://www.gsgold.com/jewelry-findings/gold-findings.htm

UGH...you brought back a bad memory. Finding WHITE gold head pins. Finally had to pay out the wazoo at Rio Grande. They seem to be more prevalent now. I get mine from Bella, Rio, G&S, or Stuller. I find them stiffer to work with than sterling, and appreciate an extra 1/2 inch or so to help with wrapping loops and such.

 

[Mervione]

Ugh, do I have to call to order from RioGrande?

And Panda, I can?t find any headpins on that page, I`ll try to keep find them.

 

[Mervione]

Oh, I found one. But it?s only one inch... Forgot to say I prefer pins over one and half an inch, although with rose gold, I?d be happy with everything, even one inch. I looked at Stuller but they only sell to companies apparantly. Isn?t Rio the same?

Also, would it look weird to mix yellow gold with rose gold? Since I can?t find any rose gold pins. I`m wondering what the companies that sell them actually think when they put rose gold findings (earring findings, jump rings etc...) in their assortment but no rose headpins? I think it?s so weird.

Rio doesn't just sell wholesale.

 

[Mervione]

Ah. Just made an account on Riogrande so I can look at their items.

 

[Mervione]

Now I?ve looked around on Riogrande, and I can only find gold filled and silver head pins. I`ve started to wonder if this might be because people actually don?t use golden head pins? Do you use gold filled instead in your designs? Please help me, I?m confused...

They do sell gold headpins; you may want to request their findings catalog. I just got some within the last few months.

I know I saw rose gold head pins. Let me think a bit.

Try this: http://www.handmadebyflloyd.com/BRoseGoldScribbly.htm

Ask for what you want if you don't see it.

I was going to order the catalogues but realised that I?m going to stay in England 4 more weeks and I have to call to make them ship to my non Swedish adress. How long does it take for the catalogues to arrive?

 

[Mervione]

Thanks Panda! I also got the idea to make looppins out of rose gold wire (If I can find any.) and use them. Head pins would still be better but at least this way I can make some designs I have in mind, I just love rose gold...

 

[pearlescence]

Arab gold is often rose gold, if that helps in any way...

Is everyone over here in the UK at the moment?

 

[Sueki]

Yay,
Let's throw a party...
It'll have to be indoors, though....

 

[Mervione]

Thanks Knotty, will mail them in a bit and see what they say...
