A friend of mine recently showed me a pair of earrings she purchased
containing tiny pearls resting on headpins of 26-gauge wire with 1mm
balls on the ends. I have never come across such a fine-gauged
headpin with such a tiny ball on the end, so I started looking online
and through my catalogs. The closest I’ve been able to find is a
25-gauge headpin with a 1.3mm ball offered by Rio Grande. Has anyone
come across headpins with the specs I’ve provided? I find it hard to
believe that these headpins are hand-made and therefore commercially
unavailable.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
