These 304L stainless steel crimp bead caps are designed to conceal and secure your crimp beads, ensuring a neat finish on your bracelets, necklaces, and other handmade costume jewelry.
These 3-mm crimp beads provide a neater finish on bracelets and necklaces made with cable wire or other materials that require the use of a crimp bead. Once closed around the crimp bead, the cap hides the flattened part and makes it look like a small, round metal bead. The 100-piece set is especially handy for making multiple pieces of jewelry or keeping a supply of finishing components in your workshop.
How do you use these crimp bead covers?
These covers are used with wire. They are placed over a crimp bead that has already been positioned, then closed using appropriate pliers. You can use them to neatly finish the clasp attachment on a necklace or bracelet, to hide the starting point of a design, or to attach an extension chain. For a clean look, pair them with 2 mm round crimp beads. Once closed, they resemble a small metal bead and blend naturally between two beads. This technical sheet explains in detail how to create beautiful finishes with crimp beads.
No matter your skill level, you’ll find tutorials and technical guides on the website to help you progress step by step in your DIY jewelry-making projects. They’ll help you choose the right diameter of wire, position your beads correctly before attaching a clasp, and check the strength of your assemblies.
