Rayher platinum crimp beads, Ø 1.4/2 mm, 350 pieces

Rayher platinum crimp beads – for securing beads and clasps

You need the Rayher crimp beads in platinum when you want to fix beads in place on jewellery wire or thread, or attach a clasp. With an inner diameter of 1.4 mm and an outer diameter of 2 mm, they are small and barely noticeable on the finished piece of jewellery. One bag contains 350 pieces, so you have enough beads for several necklaces and bracelets.

As well as for clasps, the crimp beads can be used to join on a new wire or thread, to make small spacers or to add highlights between larger beads.

How to attach a crimp bead

Slide the crimp bead onto the wire or thread after the last element. For a clasp, pass the end through the loop, then back through the crimp bead and slide it up close to the loop. Then squeeze the bead flat with pliers. Next, give the wire a gentle tug: if the bead holds, it is secure. If it can be moved, squeeze it again. Only trim the protruding end of the wire once the bead is firmly in place.
