*50* 18K Gold Plated Brass One Touch Crimp Stopper Beads

Nice finished look

I’ve used a lot of crimp beads in the past 15 years. These are by far the most professional looking once applied. I’m in love with the finished product. That being said, the ones I have use (several trials on different wire/line/chain, two on a necklace) have been very difficult to close. I think that in the end, that’s a good thing. They definitely work with a variety of very fine wire and synthetic lines. The gold chain I used on the necklace is the smallest 14k standard link chain available, and they held well. I hope I get the knack of closing the stopper more easily. Do watch the video on Youtube!

Can't seem to pull end wire back through these

I got these crimpers and used them for the first time, and I had no problem getting the wire looped around the guide to come back through and through the first 5 beads like I like for reinforcement. But at the end of the necklace, I could not get the looped around wire to pull through to tighten the necklace. I tried three of the crimper beads and had the same issue. Perhaps the reinforcement is considered overkill, but I like to do it and I just can't seem to make it work with these.

Love the little claps because they are perfect size for making necklaces and rosaries
