Domed Brass Eyelets and Grommets
Domed brass eyelets and convex brass grommets are metal hole-reinforcement components used in garments, shoes, bags, leather goods, outerwear, accessories, craft projects and textile applications. Their rounded surface creates a more visible and dimensional metal trim effect compared with flat eyelets.
In the E-Dugme domed brass eyelets category, buyers can compare multiple size groups from small accessory eyelets to larger bag, shoe, outerwear and decorative textile eyelets. Size groups may include No 2, No 3, No 4, No 5, No 17, No 18, No 24, No 26, No 28, No 31 and No 34 depending on the product model.
What Are Domed Brass Eyelets?
A domed brass eyelet is a brass metal capsule with a rounded top surface. It is installed around a prepared hole in fabric, leather, synthetic leather, canvas, bag material, shoe upper or textile surface. Once applied with the correct washer and setting die, it helps support the hole edge and creates a clean passage for cords, laces, drawstrings or fastening components.
Inner diameter determines the passage size. Outer diameter affects visible metal coverage. Barrel height affects compatibility with material thickness. Washer structure and setting die compatibility affect how the eyelet sits on the surface after installation.

Domed Eyelets, Flat Eyelets and Contoured Eyelets
Domed eyelets can be selected when a rounded and more visible metal surface is preferred. Flat eyelets create a cleaner and lower-profile surface. Contoured eyelets offer a more defined edge form. The correct choice depends on product design, material thickness, cord diameter, finish colour and compatible setting die.
Colour and Finish Options
Domed brass eyelets may be available in free nickel, black nickel, gold, antique brass, gun metal and antique silver finishes depending on the product model. Gold and antique brass can create a classic look on leather goods and bags. Free nickel can support a clean metal appearance. Black nickel and gun metal are useful for darker garments, bags and modern product styles.
Washer, Hole Cutting and Setting Die Compatibility
Domed brass eyelet installation depends on the eyelet capsule, prepared hole, washer structure and compatible setting die. A prepared hole that is too small may prevent proper seating, while a hole that is too large may create a loose installation. Material thickness, washer structure and barrel height should be evaluated together before production.
