These fine gold plated crimp beads are the perfect accessory for neatly finishing your DIY jewelry creations. Slide them onto the end of a cord or ribbon to give your necklaces and bracelets a neat and elegant finish.
These end caps give your creations a neat, uniform finish with a warm look that blends easily with many styles of jewelry. They come in the form of a two-pronged clamp, featuring small internal claws that securely grip the cord or ribbon once the clamp is squeezed shut with the flat-nose pliers. The opening accommodates cords or ribbons up to 10 mm wide.
What can you do with these crimp beads?
This end cap is particularly well-suited for finishing cord bracelets, fabric ribbon creations, or necklaces made with multiple braided strands. For a sailor’s knot bracelet or a twisted cord bracelet, as shown in our tutorial, it allows you to finish the ends neatly and uniformly, while making it easier to attach a clasp. For a more secure hold, we recommend using jewelry glue with this end cap. If you’re using a thin ribbon, fold it back about 0.5 cm before inserting it into the end cap: this creates extra thickness that helps the claws grip securely.
Whether you’re new to DIY jewelry making or already have some experience, it’s helpful to know a few basic techniques for working with this type of end cap. Atechnical guide dedicated to using crimp beadsis available to walk you through the process step by step, with tips on setting, crimping, and ways to avoid common mistakes. Guides and tutorials covering other finishing techniques are also available to help you with your projects.
