The Beadsmith Tube Crimp Beads, 2.5 x 2.5mm, 100 Pieces, Black Oxide Color, Uniform Cylindrical Shape, No Sharp Edges, Designed to Secure The Ends of Jewelry Stringing Wires and Cables
BULK QUANTITY: This package contains 100 pieces in Black Oxide Color. These are perfect to add to your stash, so you have plenty of crimps on hand when you need them.
BETTER QUALITY: Because the inside of a crimp tube tends to be more spacious, they can be better at gripping beading wire, providing a more secure crimp. Using a crimping plier provides a more aesthetically pleasing finish.
PROFESSIONAL FINISH: Tube Crimps are generally made of soft metal and designed to secure clasps onto jewelry making wire. They work well to finish a piece and blend it with the finished design.
EASY TO USE: Though frequently used by designers, beginners will also benefit from their simplicity. Slide the beading wire through a crimp, then loop through your clasp or jump ring. Slide it back through and use a flat nose or crimping plier to lock in place!
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CRIMP: To eliminate breakage, and wonky looking beads, determine the best size wire for your crimps. 1mm is great for thinner wire, such as .007-014, 2mm is ideal for medium .019 strands and 3mm is better for the heavier cables.
