    I think that what the original poster (Grace, I think) was saying is
    that she makes her own headpins out of Argentium Sterling because it
    melts into nice smooth, round balls, similarly to fine silver. I'm
    pretty sure that she meant that before she began making her own in
    AS, she used to purchase SS pre-fabricated headpins, and the heads
    snapped off. 

    Yes, I was saying that with the the pre-fab balled head pins from
    Rio, the heads were snapping off. I will share my concerns with
    them. That is why I recommended the Metalliferous balled head pins.
    Not one has ever snapped. 

Cheers,
Reba
