A hat pin is a very long pin that was created to hold a lady’s hat in place. A hatpin is similar to a stickpin in that one end is pointed, and the other has a decorative end. We can embellish the decorative end with beads, gemstones, or just about any other design you can think of. The length of the pin itself is the main distinction between them. Stickpins are often shorter than hat pins. They sometimes measure less than twelve inches. Hat pins were typically 8 inches long, pointed, and had ornate heads when worn in pairs. The head, shank, and finding are the three different components of an actual hat pin. The decorative portion of the hat pin is known as the head. Many people call this head the ornament. The metal shaft that the head is mounted on is called a shank.

How are hatpins made?

These hat pins are of the highest caliber and are made of steel. These sturdy aluminum hat pins have a sharp tip that can pierce any hat’s fabric and ensure that it stays in place. You can easily get them in White, Pearl, Silver, or Gold.
