Attach beads and pendants with elegance thanks to these 3-micron gold-plated flat-head nails, ideal for creating neat, discreet settings in your DIY jewelry creations.
Its fine 0.6 mm shank ends in a flat 1.8 mm head that holds the bead without spilling over the sides, giving a clean, tight-fitting finish. At 41 mm in length, this nail allows several beads or elements to be strung on top of each other, while retaining enough shank to form a finishing loop. The 3-micron gold plating gives it a luminous, warm, yellow-gold-like appearance that will stand the test of time with proper care.
What can I do with flat-head nails?
These nails are particularly well-suited to beads with a hole of less than 1.8 mm, as the flat head slides easily over the bead without the risk of slipping through. You can use them to make earrings with beads by threading your elements and then forming a loop with round pliers. They can also be used to make pendants to hang from charms bracelets, chains or hoop earrings. The flat head is also useful when you want the anchoring point to remain invisible once the bead is in place, giving a particularly neat result on translucent or large-hole beads.
Whether you're new to DIY jewelry design or already have some experience, tutorials and how-to sheets are available to guide you step by step. You'll find advice on choosing the right pliers, finishing techniques, how to measure out the length of rod left before forming a loop, and how to combine primers for consistent, solid assemblies. These resources are useful both for progressing on technical basics and for exploring new material combinations.
