Add a polished finish to your projects with these 5.5 mm gold-plated diamond-cut crimp bead covers, designed to neatly conceal the crimp beads in your bracelets and necklaces.
These 5.5 mm crimp bead covers are designed to conceal a crimp bead once it has been set during the setting process on the wire, creating a cleaner and more elegant finish. Their diamond-cut surface creates a subtle texture that catches the light and transforms a functional element into a decorative detail. Their gold finish pairs easily with chains, clasps, and findings in the same shade.
How do you use these crimp bead covers?
After securing your crimp bead onto a wire, place the cover around it and gently close it with suitable pliers until it takes on a uniform shape. This step conceals the crimp bead while giving the appearance of a small metal bead. Use them to finish a gemstone necklace, a glass bead bracelet, or a multi-strand design where the attachment points remain visible. Our guide to creating beautiful finishes with crimp beads details the various steps and proper techniques for achieving a clean assembly. Their diamond-cut finish can also be repeated in several places on the piece to create decorative continuity with the other gold findings.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, these covers let you quickly enhance the final look of a piece without altering its structure. Our tutorials and technical guides provide advice and tips to help you choose the right size of crimp bead, use the appropriate pliers, and master the various finishing steps to create clean, even, and polished jewelry.
