Attach beads and pendants with elegance thanks to these gold-plated ball-head studs, ideal for creating refined earrings or hanging charms.
These nails are distinguished by their slender shank and small spherical head, characteristic of the ball-head model. The 3-micron gold plating gives them a warm, luminous hue, close to yellow gold, which blends easily into meticulous creations. Their 31 mm length and 0.55 mm diameter make them ideal for small to medium-sized beads, offering enough length for comfortable mounting without excess visible metal.
What can I do with ball-head nails?
These studs are particularly suitable for mounting dangling earrings: simply thread one or more beads onto the shank, then form a loop using round pliers to obtain a ready-to-hang pendant. They can also be used to make pendants to attach to hoop earrings, chains or charm bracelets, as in this millefiori pendant earrings tutorial or this charm bracelet. The ball head, slightly more visible than a flat head, can also play an aesthetic role when visible in the final assembly.
