Description

How to use Head Pins


Gold fill (also called gold overlay or gold-filled) is made by using heat and pressure to apply a layer of karat gold to a base of less costly metal. This produces a surface with karat gold. The minimum layer of karat gold must equal at least 1/20 of the total weight of the item.

What's the Difference between Gold Plate and Gold Fill?
Gold fill is 50 to 100,000 times thicker than normal gold plating, and 17 to 25,000 times thicker than heavy gold electroplate (sometimes stamped 14kt HGP). For more info about GF, see About Metals which includes an illustration of the difference between gold plate and gold fill.

     Basic Loops         The loop size will depend on how much wire you leave past the  end of your beads, and around which part of your pliers you bend  the loop. A good loop size is usually about 1/3 of the way from the  tip of your pliers, with about 8mm of wire.    Use round needle-nose pliers.    If using an eye pin, decide which way you want the loop to go -  the same direction as the premade loop on the other end, or  90º off. Keep this direction in mind as you bend the rest of  the wire.    Cut off any excess wire (we suggest retaining 8mm above the top  of your beads).    Grip the pin just above the top bead (at the arrow above), and  bend the wire sharply toward you.    Grasp the tip of the wire with pliers, and bend smoothly away  from you, around the pliers.               Wrapped Loops       Use chain-nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the top of  the bead.    Use your fingers to bend the wire sharply over the top of the  pliers, at a 90° angle. You should have 2-3mm of straight wire  between the bead and the bend.    Use round-nose pliers to grasp a spot just above the bend, and  use your fingers to smoothly bend the wire all the way around the  tip of the pliers.    Now use pliers to grasp the wire firmly across the loop. Use  your fingers or chain-nose pliers to carefully wrap the wire around  the stem. For best control, experts recommend you break this step  into a series of half wraps.    Trim excess with flush cutters.
