sterling silver headpin making

Made a 3 minute quick video on how to make the nail headpins like in this earring shown in the picture above. Had a request for that, so enjoy…. if you’re interested. I have all of the supplies you need for this project in my silver supply shop… I think I have the best price on the hex anvil as well??? http://www.midnightinsavannah.etsy.com

    1. Doing ok… It’s getting easier to talk about him without being sad and tearing up and instead being reminiscent and thoughtful about it. It’s still surreal though. I wish he would have made it just a little while longer. He would have loved to see his grandchildren grow up a little more. He really enjoyed them.

  4. Thanks so much. It’s so funny you did this. I have the ancient glass and always a bit bothered with the holes or button holes. I decided to tube rivet but the hammering is still tough on the glass. Here you bring me this after I looked at this picture for 20 minutes yesterday wondering about the work you did. Thanks. I am such a fan of your beautiful work. Glad you’re sharing and teaching a bit.

    1. Thank you so much for watching it! I’m a terrible video maker so far but it’s all good as I try… Heads up on this design with the roman glass earring. The large nail head pin slides through a hole punched in a flattened head pin behind the piece of glass. The nail head pin wraps around the wire with the hole in it and gets snipped off. The wire with the hole in it is then bent to become an ear wire. Hope this helps….
