Crimp Beads

Crimp beads are small metal beads used to secure other beads into place when using wires ie tiger tail wire.  They do come in different sizes so make sure the size is right for the wire or piece of jewellery you are making.

They are also used to secure clasps on to the end of the wire.

Bead tips are small, shell-like beads that can be closed around a knot or crimp bead for a neat finish. To secure knots a dab of clear nail varnish or glue can be applied before closing the bead tip.
