Side Opening Bullet Catch, 5mm, Sterling Silver 925

Description

Secure and Subtle Brooch Lock for Pins and Jewellery Assemblies

This 5mm Side Opening Bullet Catch is a compact and discreet brooch lock, designed to secure pin stems in place while maintaining a clean and refined profile. Made from solid sterling silver (925) and weighing just 0.3g, it offers a lightweight yet reliable fastening solution for brooches, stick pins, and other fine jewellery designs where both security and aesthetics are essential.

The side opening mechanism allows for smooth, controlled engagement and release, making it easy to operate while remaining firmly closed during wear. This design makes it ideal for modern brooches, small pins, or bespoke jewellery constructions where a minimalistic yet effective locking mechanism is required.

Streamlined Design for Precision Work

With a 5mm length, this bullet catch is sized for delicate and mid-sized designs. The side opening creates a horizontal release action, which differs from traditional top-release catches, offering a more ergonomic and streamlined alternative.

The catch is most commonly soldered onto the back of a brooch or pin and pairs with a standard pin stem to complete the closure. Once inserted, the pin is held securely within the catch, preventing accidental release while allowing for effortless opening when required.

Crafted in Solid Sterling Silver

Made from 925 sterling silver, the catch matches the tone and quality of high-end jewellery pieces. It can be polished, oxidised, or finished to suit the style of the piece it’s being incorporated into. Its precise construction ensures reliable alignment and smooth operation over repeated use.

Ideal for:

• Brooch and lapel pin construction

• Stick pins

• Custom and handmade jewellery

• Jewellery repairs or upgrades
