I need help with findings nice headpins in gold (Karat doesn´t really matter, just not lower than 14 k.). I`ve looked at Firemountain and the ones they sell are too thin I think, and I´ve looked at Bellafindings but those have flat ends which I find unappealing. Any suggestions? If any of you know a place that sell rose gold pins then I´d be very happy but yellow gold is fine too.

I could get some in , given time - how many do you want? alternately try Finding King

Rio Grande catalog would have them as well. There is a phone number on the following page.

You can't go wrong with G&S Metals. http://www.gsgold.com/jewelry-findin...d-findings.htm

UGH...you brought back a bad memory. Finding WHITE gold head pins. Finally had to pay out the wazoo at Rio Grande. They seem to be more prevalent now. I get mine from Bella, Rio, G&S, or Stuller. I find them stiffer to work with than sterling, and appreciate an extra 1/2 inch or so to help with wrapping loops and such.

Ugh, do I have to call to order from RioGrande?

And Panda, I can´t find any headpins on that page, I`ll try to keep find them.

[Mervione]

Oh, I found one. But it´s only one inch... Forgot to say I prefer pins over one and half an inch, although with rose gold, I´d be happy with everything, even one inch. I looked at Stuller but they only sell to companies apparantly. Isn´t Rio the same?

Also, would it look weird to mix yellow gold with rose gold? Since I can´t find any rose gold pins. I`m wondering what the companies that sell them actually think when they put rose gold findings (earring findings, jump rings etc...) in their assortment but no rose headpins? I think it´s so weird.

[Pearl_dreams]

Rio doesn't just sell wholesale.

[Mervione]

Ah. Just made an account on Riogrande so I can look at their items.

[Mervione]

Now I´ve looked around on Riogrande, and I can only find gold filled and silver head pins. I`ve started to wonder if this might be because people actually don´t use golden head pins? Do you use gold filled instead in your designs? Please help me, I´m confused...

They do sell gold headpins; you may want to request their findings catalog. I just got some within the last few months.

I know I saw rose gold head pins. Let me think a bit.

Try this: http://www.handmadebyflloyd.com/BRoseGoldScribbly.htm

and: http://rosegoldjewelry.com/category.php?id=37

Ask for what you want if you don't see it.

I was going to order the catalogues but realised that I´m going to stay in England 4 more weeks and I have to call to make them ship to my non Swedish adress. How long does it take for the catalogues to arrive?

[Mervione]

Thanks Panda! I also got the idea to make looppins out of rose gold wire (If I can find any.) and use them. Head pins would still be better but at least this way I can make some designs I have in mind, I just love rose gold...

[pearlescence]

Arab gold is often rose gold, if that helps in any way...
