Sterling silver-filled head pins are made of a durable outer layer of sterling silver surrounding a copper-alloy core. These items are 10% sterling silver, making them 1/10 silver filled. Head pins have additional silver plating for uniformity and are completed with an anti-tarnish coating to preserve the beauty. Head pins handle like sterling silver and can be soldered.
For optimal results, use nylon jaw pliers, pliers dipped in Tool Magic® heavy-duty rubber coating or a band aid when working with sterling silver-filled head pins to prevent scratching or marring.
