These silver-plated brass crimp beads are a must-have for creating clean, professional finishes!
Available in a tubular shape, these crimp beads measure 2 mm in height and approximately 1.9 mm in outer diameter. Their elongated shape sets them apart from traditional round crimp beads and makes them easier to grip when crimping. Their 1.5 mm inner diameter makes them compatible with many types of wire.
What can you do with these crimp beads?
Tube-shaped crimp beads are used exclusively on cable wire; never on elastic cord, which could break under pressure. They are mainly used to secure a clasp at the end of a necklace or bracelet, or to hold beads in a specific position on the wire to create even spacing. For a neat finish, we recommend using a specialized crimping plier for crimp beads, which ensures a clean and uniform crimp. You can also consult the technical guide “Creating Beautiful Finishes with Crimp Beads” to master this technique step by step. Adding crimp bead covers over the crimped beads helps conceal them for a cleaner look.
