Hat pins aren't just for decorating hats -- in previous generations, when more women had long hair and elaborate hats, hat pins were pinned into the hair-dos underneath the hat, to help hold the heavy hats properly into place. And of course, the better-known fact: women often kept their hat pins quite sharp, in case they were needed for stabbing the hands of "handsy gentlemen".
Many of our base-metal beads fit perfectly on our hat pins. However, to fit pearls on to them, you will need to use a bead reamer to enlarge the pearl hole.

2 Reviews /
Avg Rating: 10 /10
8" hat pin with 3.2mm head. Made of durable 1.3mm (0.050"), 16-gauge lacquered brass wire. The lacquer helps prevent the brass from tarnishing. Perfect for large hole beads but too large for most Czech beads. 3.2mm head keeps beads from falling off, secure other end with crimp beads or glue.
