20 Bronze Plated Crimped End Cap Connector (11mmX5mm)

Description

Bronze Crimped End Cap Connector

Bronze plating offers warmth and depth that oxidised metals can’t replicate, sitting between the brightness of gold and the coolness of silver with a mellow, earthy tone. When you’re finishing a braided leather cuff or wrapping up a layered fabric necklace, these bronze crimped end cap connectors clamp firmly over the raw edges, hiding frayed ends while creating a secure anchor point for your clasp. The integrated hook loop eliminates the need for additional jump rings in many designs, streamlining your assembly process and reducing potential weak points.

• Dimensions: 11mm length x 5mm width with a 1.6mm hole accommodating most cord diameters
• Material: Base metal with bronze plating for an antiqued, vintage appearance
• Pack quantity: 20 necklace cord end caps per order
• Design: Crimped barrel with attached hook loop for direct clasp connection
• Compatibility: Works with both flat braid and rounded cord up to approximately 1.4mm diameter

These crimp bead connectors shine in macramé necklaces where you’ve used 1mm cotton or hemp cord—slide the crimped barrel over the bundled ends, flatten gently with chain-nose pliers, then attach your toggle or lobster clasp directly to the hook. They’re equally effective with suede lacing in bohemian-style jewellery or with narrow satin ribbon in textile art pieces. Because the bronze finish has subtle tonal variation, they pair beautifully with wooden and natural stone beads in earthy colour palettes, or alongside amber and carnelian in autumn-inspired designs.

Apply even pressure when closing the crimp to avoid crushing delicate cords—you want compression, not destruction. The 1.6mm opening accepts most standard jewellery cords including waxed cotton, leather thong, and narrow organza ribbon. Test your cord diameter before committing to a full project, as overly thick materials may require hand reaming to fit smoothly. Australia Beads stocks these in packs of 20, giving you enough to complete multiple projects or experiment with different cord types before finalising your design approach.
