Discover our selection of stainless steel studs and Crimp beads to finish your jewelry creations with elegance and durability. From ball-head nails to crushable bead covers, find the perfect stainless steel primer for your DIY settings, whether raw or gilded.
Stainless steel nails and Crimp beads are your best allies for impeccable jewelry creations. These little finishing touches make all the difference between a homemade piece of jewelry and one with a professional finish.
Why you'll love stainless steel:
Our range offers three types of nail to suit all your projects. Ball-head nails are the most versatile, perfect for minimalist, elegant creations. Flat head nails provide a stable base for large-hole beads. Round-head nails add a discreet decorative touch to your settings.
Crimp beads secure your beads or clasps on wire or nylon in a single movement. They create discreet, ultra-reliable stops to ensure your jewelry stands the test of time.
For an even more professional finish, Crimp beads hide these small technical elements elegantly. Your creations instantly gain in refinement and finished look!
Our primers are available in stainless steel and in 18K, 24K or PVD gold-plated versions. This technique guarantees long-lasting gold plating.
Whether you're new to DIY jewelry or an experienced designer, our stainless steel nails and Crimp beads will help you bring all your creative ideas to life.
Thread one or more beads onto it and form a loop. This loop can be simple or pigtailed, and will enable you to hang your assembly in your jewelry.
Use 3-in-1 pliers to form curls with nails. If you don't have any, opt for round-tipped pliers and cutting pliers.
When choosing a bead to crush, bear in mind that the wire will pass through the bead twice. You therefore need a bead with an internal diameter slightly larger than twice the diameter of your wire.
The crushable bead cover should be larger than the bead to be crushed. Approximately 1 or 2 mm larger. So for a 3 mm Crimp bead, choose a 4 mm bead cover.
