Crimping beads are used to secure Softflex jewelry wire. We use and sell 3 colors, silver, bronze and black. The black we use on black beads, the metal colors pick up the color of the metals we use when making jewelry and rosaries. We use two crimps at each juncture or end to secure the wire. You might check our images under the links above - ROSARIES or CHAPLETS to see how we do this. WITH .019 WIRES USE 2 mm CRIMPS

To Secure Soft Flex wire use crimping beads: + 1. Finish work by threading crimping bead onto wire. 2. Loop wire through end ring - then back through crimping bead. 3. Carefully/slowly pull wire into place - then release tension a bit for some play. 4. Secure wire into place by crimping bead with crimping pliers (see below). |
|
To form a tight, clean and well shaped crimped bead you will need crimping pliers. Please note shape of two areas for crimping. (For proper crimping - make sure you hold the pliers so curve points towards you and not away) + 1. Inside 'crimper' - folds bead into a 'c' shape as it tightens and secures wire. 2. Outside 'folder' - flattens and folds bead back onto itself. 3. To round bead off, turn bead 1/4 turn, crimp again. (Instructions on package) |
