This brass tube crimp bead has a white finish and corrugated texture, ideal for your white-metal designs. It's durable and provides a secure finish on strung designs made with tigertail, foxtail, Beadalon® or any other wire stringing material. Crimp beads are short, thin-walled beads designed to secure wire and cord without having to tie knots. The wire goes through the bead, then through the clasp or other finding, and back through the bead.
To secure the bead, crimp it snugly onto the wire using specially designed pliers that neatly flatten and fold the bead without crushing it. Choose a crimp with a inside diameter that will accommodate at least two thicknesses of the cord/wire you will be using, and more if you will be working with double or triple strands.
