20 Curved Gold Metal Crimps (24mmx1.8mm)

Description

Curved Gold Metal Crimps

The gentle arc built into these 24mm crimps changes how they sit against leather, macramé cord, and bundled wire. Unlike straight tubes that fight rounded surfaces, the pre-formed curve follows the natural line of thick materials, distributing pressure evenly when you close them. The warm gold plating catches light differently along the bend, creating subtle visual movement that flat findings can’t replicate. Each crimp tube measures 1.8mm wide with a 1.5mm bore—just wide enough for 2mm leather cord or three strands of 0.5mm tigertail bunched together.

• Length: 24mm with pre-formed curve for organic drape
• Width: 1.8mm outer diameter in polished gold tone
• Bore size: 1.5mm accommodates leather, kumihimo, bundled wire
• Finish: Gold coated base metal with warm yellow cast
• Pack size: 20 curved crimps per pack
• Application: Close with flat-nose pliers over soft materials

These work particularly well at transition points in metal beads designs where you’re switching from strung sections to knotted cord—the curve echoes the organic line of hand-tied knots rather than introducing a rigid element. The extended length makes them visible design features on leather wrap bracelets, especially when spaced evenly as decorative accents between wooden or bone beads. Because the bore accepts thicker materials, you can use them to cap the ends of kumihimo braids before attaching clasps and closures, hiding raw cord ends inside the tube’s length. They also function as soft-close alternatives to traditional fold-over crimps on delicate silk or satin—press gently rather than crushing flat to avoid fraying fibres.

The gold coating leans toward a buttery yellow rather than brassy orange, so it sits comfortably alongside antique brass metal charms or vintage-style components without clashing. Under direct light the curve creates a subtle shadow line along one edge, adding dimension to otherwise monochromatic cord bracelets. At this price point you can experiment with spacing them as visual rhythm markers every few centimetres along a 60cm length, building pattern through repetition without breaking your materials budget.
