Flat Head PinsA flat head pin is a thin, straight metal wire with a flat head on one end that helps prevent beads from slipping off.

2.First make some pearl charms: slide the pearl beads onto the pins, then use a plier to bend the wire at a right angle just above the beads, trim off the excess wire and create a loop above the beads.
3.Make a pearl cluster: connect the pearl charms with jump rings.
4.Add other embellishments and a pair of ear wires to the pearl cluster.

“K stands for karat and refers to the percentage of gold in an alloy”
Gold plated Information

or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 18k gold
- Real platinum platedBase Metal
(Brass or Zinc Alloy
or Stainless Steel)A very thin layer of 75% Gold+ 25% Silver+Nickel+Zinc(Nickel not exceed 0.3%)

Our 18K gold plated jewelry is not made of 18 karat gold actually, it base metal is usually brass or zinc alloy or sterling silver or stainless steel. 18k gold plated jewelry is made by electrochemical plating or chemicals to deposite a very thin layer of 18k gold over the base metal, the gold layer as thin as about 0.01~0.03μm. There is real gold on such jewelry, even if it’s just a thin layer of it.
The production principle of Real platinum plated and Real Rose Gold plated jewelry is the same as 18K gold plated, it is also made by electrochemical plating or chemicals to deposite a very thin layer of Karat Gold over the base metal. In our website, compared to common plated products, the color durability of the real platinum plated and real rose gold plated is better.
