Chord End with Bottom Holes

Description

Chord End with Bottom Holes

Measuring 8mm x 3mm, each piece functions as both a traditional crimp end and a jump ring anchor — the open barrel crimps securely around cord or beading wire using standard crimping pliers, while two strategically positioned holes at the base allow you to attach a jump ring before you compress the barrel shut. That dual-access design means you’re finishing and connecting in a single step rather than fumbling with multiple findings.

• Pack of 20 antique silver chord ends with dual bottom holes for jump ring integration
• Dimensions: 8mm length x 3mm barrel diameter, suited to cords up to 2.5mm thick
• Oxidised finish provides depth and vintage character that won’t compete with ornate beadwork
• Open barrel design accommodates crimping with standard flat-nose or crimping pliers
• Two aligned holes at base accept jump rings up to 6mm diameter
• Compatible with leather, waxed cotton, beading wire, and multi-strand jewellery components

Use these when you’re terminating kumihimo braids that need a clean, professional clasp attachment — the barrel grips the finished braid while the jump ring holes let you connect a lobster clasp without soldering or wire wrapping. They’re equally useful for finishing macramé bracelets where you want a metal endpoint that doesn’t bulk up the design, or for securing multiple strands of gemstone chips that converge into a single clasp point. The antique silver chord ends work particularly well in mixed-metal assemblies where gunmetal or oxidised silver tones dominate, and the dual holes give you the option to add decorative dangles or charms at the termination point if your design calls for embellishment.

The oxidised surface shows subtle variation across each piece — some appear darker in recessed areas, others lighter where metal contact occurs during tumbling. This means finished pieces develop individual character rather than machine-perfect uniformity. Pair them with round-nose pliers for secure crimping and sterling silver jump rings if you’re after tarnish-matched hardware throughout your design.
