Sterling silver Crimp beads
Sterling silver crimps secure the ends of jewellery designs when using tiger tail and some varieties of cord and chain to a clasp or closed ring. A crimp can be left exposed or a crimp cover can be used to close over the crimp resembling a round bead. A charlotte crimp is an easy way to end knotted beading thread as a knot is placed inside the cup which is then closed over, the hook is then attached to a clasp. There are many crimp loop and hook ends that can be used with rubber and leather material, some crimps close while others need glue and the imaginative designer can solder or rivet some styles to chain.
