HI Aksim
20 gauge is pretty good sized wire in earring/pendents terms. I am just not sure how to translate 1.7mm into gauge sizes. Since you don't have a bead store to visit (bummer!) would a hardware store carry different weights of wire where you could try them in your pearl? Then the gauge that fits, you order from online.

Of course someone here may already know how to translate one to the other.

If you can buy just one headpin in 2-3 sizes, you could probably determine the size that way too.
