Bijuland is a wholesale bead and craft materials supplier based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The Brooch Bases category (основи за брошки — osnovi za broshki) covers metal pin-back findings for making handmade brooches — within the broader Metal Elements and Findings section. Wholesale and retail purchase available, with shipping across Bulgaria and Europe.
What are brooch bases and how do they work?
Brooch bases (основи за брошки — osnovi za broshki) are metal findings with two distinct sides: a flat front pad — a plain metal surface onto which a decorative element is glued or assembled — and a reverse side carrying the pin mechanism, which consists of a pointed pin that passes through a garment fabric and locks into a small clasp or C-catch that holds the pin in place. The pin-and-clasp mechanism is the standard brooch fixing used across all pin brooches and badge-style jewellery: the pin is opened by lifting it out of the catch, passed through the fabric, and snapped back into the catch behind the fabric to secure the brooch. Brooch bases are available in several formats: flat pad pin bases — the most common type, a simple flat metal disc or oval with a gluing pad on the front and a pin-bar on the reverse, available in multiple diameters (15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 38mm) to suit different decorative element sizes; toothed or comb pin bases — a flat bar with small teeth or combs along the top edge, used in fabric flower, felt, and textile brooches where the teeth grip into the decorative material to hold it without glue; and multi-loop pin bases — a flat bar with multiple loops along the bottom edge from which bead drops or charms can be hung, creating a combined brooch and charm piece. Metal finish is gold-plated (позлатена — pozlatena) or silver-plated (посребрена — posrebren).
How are brooch bases used in handmade jewellery?
Brooch bases are used wherever a pin-fixing wearable piece is the intended output. For a cabochon or stone brooch, a flat pad pin base sized to the cabochon diameter is the correct finding: apply jewellery adhesive to the flat pad, press the flat back of the glass cabochon or polished stone firmly, allow to cure, and the brooch is complete. For a fabric or felt flower brooch, a toothed pin base grips into the back of the flower without glue, allowing the decorative element to be removed and replaced. For a bead and charm brooch, a multi-loop pin base provides drop attachment points along the bottom edge, allowing beads on head pins or charm pendants to hang from the brooch body. Brooch making is one of the most accessible jewellery making entry points — a flat pad pin base, a decorative element, and jewellery adhesive produce a finished wearable piece in minutes. Bijuland ships from Plovdiv, Bulgaria and supplies jewellery makers, craft studios, and bead resellers across Bulgaria and Europe.
