Ball Joint with Large Base, Sterling Silver 925, 0,08g

Description

Professional-Grade Brooch Pin Connector for Secure, Articulated Attachment

This sterling silver ball joint with a large base is a precision-made finding designed for use in brooch and pin construction, specifically compatible with pin stems that have self-contained rivets. Weighing just 0.08g, and measuring 3mm high × 2.65mm wide × 3mm deep, it offers a low-profile yet highly functional attachment point for secure and articulated brooch designs.

The ball joint enables subtle movement and durability, offering jewellers the ability to create brooches with pivoting or flexible functionality—a common requirement in higher-end or traditional brooch mechanisms.

Smooth Assembly with Self-Contained Rivet Pin Stems

This fitting is designed to house and support a self-contained rivet pin stem, allowing it to rotate or pivot smoothly without loosening over time. It serves as one half of a complete brooch mechanism when paired with:

• A pin stem with integrated rivet head
• A side-opening or standard brooch catch (e.g. bullet catch or roller clasp)

Its wider base ensures greater stability when soldered to the back plate or structure of the brooch.
