Closing crimps often leave a sharp edge, which can cause damage to the wire or thread, as well as causing discomfort to the person wearing the bracelet or necklace. Crimp bead covers, which look like a round bead when closed, were designed to cover the crimp, protecting the jewelry, and prolonging the life of your piece.
To use the covers first choose a crimp cover larger than your crimp. Next place the crimp inside, making sure it is not sticking out of the crimp. With a pair of crimping pliers (sold separately) positioned on both sides of your cover, gently squeeze the two edges of the cover towards one another until the cover is completely closed. You’re essentially starting out with a semi-circular bead, and you want to gently mold it into a round bead. When you are done, you won’t even be able to tell it’s covering a crimp. If you don’t have crimping pliers, flat or chain nose pliers are also up for the task!
The Beadsmith carries several variations on the crimp bead cover. There are 3mm and 4mm diameters, as well as vibrant gold and shiny silver colors to choose from. In addition, there is a smooth round design, a corrugated style and a stardust finish. Each option provides a different look, depending on your needs. These findings make a great addition to your jewelry stash for beginners and experienced jewelry designers, DIY crafters and general hobbyists. The end caps make it easy to quickly create a unique piece of jewelry for friends, family, a gift, special occasion or just to show someone you were thinking of them.
