925 Sterling Silver Crimp tubes 2x2 mm x50

These 925 silver crush tubes are indispensable little pieces for securing and finalizing your settings. Perfect for finishing off your creations with a neat, professional finish, they are easy to deform and crush using crush pearl pliers.

Crushable tubes in 925 Sterling Silver (92.5% Silver).
Made in Europe.

Made of 925 silver, these tubes have a fine, regular cylindrical shape. Their tubular shape enables the wire to be securely trapped after crushing with suitable pliers. Once flattened, they hold the wire in place and ensure the stability of the whole, particularly at the clasp or connection points.

How do I use these little crush tubes?
Crush tubes are mainly used to secure a wire at one end, for example to fix a clasp or create a finishing loop. They are indispensable for making necklaces and bracelets on wired wire with a clean, solid finish. To crush them, simply use crushing bead pliers, which deform the tube without damaging it or cutting the wire. Once crushed, the tube holds the wire firmly in place with no visible knots.
Just starting out? Follow these simple steps to use your crush tubes:
1. Thread your crush tube onto the wire.
2. Thread a clasp.
3. Thread the wire back through the crush tube.
4. Crush tube with suitable pliers.
5. For a perfect finish, cover with a crush pearl cover. Choose a bead cover slightly larger than your crush tube or bead.
