20 Bronze Plated Ball Chain Crimped Connectors – (13mmX6mm)

Description

Bronze Ball Chain Connectors

Base metal construction allows these bronze ball chain connectors to hold their crimped shape under repeated stress without springing open, a problem cheaper tin alloys suffer from. The plating carries a subtle amber undertone rather than the flat reddish-brown of standard bronze finishes, creating depth when positioned against vintage-style beads or antiqued metal components. Each connector features a pre-formed crimp channel designed to clamp around the ball chain’s connecting wire without crushing the balls themselves.

• 13mm total length from loop to crimped end
• 6mm width at the crimped barrel section
• Bronze plated base metal construction
• Pre-formed crimp channel for ball chain attachment
• Supplied in packs of 20 connectors
• Loop opening accommodates standard jump rings and clasps

These crimped end connectors work particularly well on necklaces where you’re mixing ball chain segments with metal beads or pendant sections, allowing you to transition between chain types without visible joins. The 13mm length provides enough grip for chains carrying heavier pendants or lanyards subjected to frequent tugging. Attach them to dog tag chains, industrial-style chokers, or mixed-media pieces where ball chain adds texture between gemstone sections. The bronze finish pairs naturally with earth tone beads in amber, carnelian, or wood, avoiding the stark contrast silver findings can create.

Flatten the crimp barrel gently with chain-nose pliers rather than crushing it with crimping pliers designed for wire, which can split the metal along the seam. The loop opening measures approximately 3mm internally, accommodating most standard jump rings without needing to pry it open. This bronze plating develops a subtle patina over months of wear, deepening the colour around the crimp barrel where oils from skin contact accumulate.
