Elegantly finish your creations with these 4 mm gold tulip shells, ideal for clean, discreet finishes.
These 4 mm tulip shells are indispensable finishing elements in costume jewelry. Their floral shape delicately envelops the beads to hide knots, loops or fastening points, while adding a subtle decorative touch. Their small size makes them easy to integrate into fine, detailed creations, without weighing the jewel down. Gold combines equally well with classic beads and more contemporary materials, offering a harmonious, polished finish.
What is the purpose of the tulip shell?
The tulip shell is a finishing tip that will enable you to create jewelry with a clean, professional look.
Just like Crimp beads or pearl covers, this finishing tip hides unsightly knots or finishes, giving your jewelry a more refined look.
