Stainless steel pins, ready to wear or customize

Two families of pins for two ways to create

Pin bases are the technical foundation of your project. Featuring a secure pin fastener, they come in several sizes in this category:

• flat settings measuring 19, 25, and 32 mm, designed to be glued or sewn on, perfect for seed bead weaving, embroidery, or polymer clay pieces;
• 20 mm tray-style bases, designed to hold a round cabochon with a flat back;
• 45- and 49-mm safety pins with three rings, which allow you to hang charms, beads, and tassels without any glue.

Finished decorative brooches—shaped like birds, flowers, bows, hearts, seashells, and more—can be worn as-is without any additions. This year, they’re back in the spotlight and are among the must-have trendy accessories!

The Benefits of Stainless Steel for a Brooch

Stainless steel is widely used in costume jewelry for its resistance to corrosion and its durability. Specifically, a stainless steel brooch does not tarnish when exposed to moisture and retains its shine.

Ideas for Creating Your Own Designs

• A cabochon brooch: attach a natural stone or crystal cabochon to a flat base in just 10 minutes.
• A brooch embroidered with cannetille or Miyuki seed beads, then mounted on a flat base.
• A polymer clay brooch: shape it, let it cure, then glue it to the base.
• A floral brooch made with dried flowers, mounted on a flat base.
• An assembly of tassels on a safety pin, in a bohemian brooch style.
• A charm brooch, decorated with several colorful charms.
