Hello all,
I am looking for a supplier of sterling silver pin backs. The type
that comes as one piece rather than those that come in about three
or four pieces which take too long to attach. I bought some nice
ones in Rome a few years ago but the catalogues I have, Swest and Rio
Grande don’t have them. Any suggestions? I don’t live in the US so
can’t phone any place and will need addresses of suppliers. Also does
anyone have any great ideas on making strong but easy brooch pin
backs? I have searched in many jewelry making books but the types
they suggest never work well for expensive or heavy brooches. I did
read about using stainless steel for the pin part but wondered if
that wasn’t making the brooch ‘cheap’ Opinions?
