2 cm / 0.79 in Brass Oval Eyelets in Black Nickel are designed to create a finished oval opening in shoes, bags, leather accessories, apparel, and decorative textile products. The brass construction gives the component a solid accessory feel, while the Black Nickel finish provides a dark metallic accent instead of a bright silver or gold appearance.
Oval eyelets are useful when the opening needs to follow the direction of a flat lace, ribbon, narrow strap, or decorative cord. Compared with a round eyelet, this shape creates a longer visual line and can make the application area look more structured and intentional.
Suitable Applications
These oval eyelets can be used in shoes, boots, bags, wallets, leather accessories, shirts, blouses, workwear, bodysuits, knitwear, denim garments, children’s products, and decorative textile applications. They are suitable for both functional openings and visible trim details.
For bag and leather projects, they can be used around decorative lacing, cords, or accessory openings. In apparel and footwear, they are a suitable choice when the design calls for an elongated lace or ribbon opening instead of a compact round hole.
When to Choose This Size
The listed size is 2 cm / 0.79 in, identified as No. 4 in the oval eyelet range. Before choosing the eyelet, compare the actual internal opening with the width and thickness of the lace, cord, ribbon, or strap that will pass through it.
- Capsule outer size: 2.80 × 1.18 cm / 1.10 × 0.46 in
- Capsule inner opening: 2.14 × 0.56 cm / 0.84 × 0.22 in
- Capsule height: 0.48 cm / 0.19 in
- Metal washer outer size: 2.80 × 1.18 cm / 1.10 × 0.46 in
- Metal washer inner opening: 2.23 × 0.68 cm / 0.88 × 0.27 in
- Metal washer height: 0.09 cm / 0.04 in
For materials wider than the internal opening, select a larger option from the oval eyelets and grommets collection. For finer cords, smaller product surfaces, or subtle decorative details, a smaller oval eyelet may provide a more balanced result.
When the project needs a structural attachment point for a loaded strap, bag handle, or harness component, choose the hardware according to the load and construction of the finished item. An oval eyelet is intended to create a reinforced opening; it should not be selected only by appearance when the connection will carry weight.
Installation Requirements
A clean oval opening should be prepared before installation. Use the matching 20 mm / 0.79 in oval eyelet punching die to prepare the material, then install the eyelet with the corresponding oval eyelet setting die.
Depending on the die connection and equipment, installation can be completed with a hand-setting tool, hand press, impact press, electric machine, or pneumatic machine. The hand press fastening machine is a practical option for workshops that need to install eyelets, snap fasteners, rivets, and covered buttons with compatible dies.
Before starting production, test the die fit, material thickness, hole shape, and press pressure on a sample piece. Thin, stretch, or loosely woven fabrics may need reinforcement to help the eyelet sit evenly and reduce distortion around the opening.
Pack and Application Note
This product is supplied in a 100-piece pack. A plastic bottom washer is not included in the listed product price. Select any additional backing or reinforcement component according to the material, application method, and finish required for the project.
