925 sterling silver crimp covers beads, 3 4 5mm - Sold by 1 piece

Sterling silver crimp covers are small metal beads that are commonly used in jewelry making to hide and protect crimp beads or tubes. Crimp beads or tubes are used to secure beading wire or cord to a clasp or other finding, but they can be unsightly or sharp-looking on their own.

To use a sterling silver crimp cover, follow these steps:
-String a crimp bead or tube onto your beading wire or cord.
-Flatten the crimp bead or tube using crimping pliers or flat-nose pliers to secure the wire or cord to your clasp or other finding.
-Slip the crimp cover over the flattened crimp bead or tube. The crimp cover should be large enough to fit over the crimp, but not so large that it slips off easily.
-Use chain-nose pliers to gently close the crimp cover around the crimp bead or tube. The crimp cover should now be securely in place, hiding and protecting the crimp.

Sterling silver crimp covers are a popular choice for jewelry makers because they provide a polished and professional look to jewelry designs. They are particularly useful in necklaces and bracelets, where crimp beads or tubes may be visible and detract from the overall appearance of the piece. Sterling silver crimp covers are a high-quality option for jewelry makers who want to create durable and elegant jewelry designs.
