Accessory component manufacturing method, accessory manufacturing method, accessory component, and accessory

A method of manufacturing a component for an accessory,

• the accessory including a body that has a first hole surrounded by a first inner surface and the component has a second hole surrounded by a second inner surface to be engaged with the first inner surface, and is configured to be suspended from the body,
• the method of manufacturing the component for the accessory comprising:
• a step of preparing a sheet-like member of which the component is formed;
• a piercing step of forming, by blanking, the second hole through the sheet-like member;
• a first reshaping step of swelling the second inner surface into the second hole by compressing a rim portion surrounding the second hole in a thickness direction of the sheet-like member;
• a shearing step of cutting a blank out of the sheet-like member;
• and
• a second reshaping step of rounding a tip portion of the second inner surface having swelled by the first reshaping step, the second reshaping step including barreling the blank cut out by the shearing step;
• wherein the first reshaping step comprises:
• a taper reshaping step of reshaping a part of the second inner surface into a tapered shape by pressing a tapered pin against the rim portion from a surface on one side of the sheet-like member along the thickness direction, and
• a blanking step of trimming, by blanking, the part of the second inner surface having swelled into the second hole by the taper reshaping step.
