Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 0.5 mm wire fits pearls, small gemstones and other beads with narrow holes
  • + 2 inch length leaves enough wire above the bead for a simple or wrapped loop
  • + 108 pins from a long-established beading brand at a low price per pin

Trade-offs

  • - Thin 0.5 mm wire bends easily, so simple loops can pull open under heavy beads
  • - Silver plated finish, and the listing does not say what the base metal is

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
