20 Gold Plated Crimps Tubes(2mmX50mm)

Description

Gold Plated Crimp Tubes

How do you hide the mechanics of a floating pearl necklace without interrupting the visual flow? These gold plated crimp tubes compress into thin, unobtrusive closures that blend seamlessly into warm-toned designs. At 2mm diameter, they accommodate fine to medium beading wires while maintaining enough wall thickness to hold securely once flattened with crimping pliers. The electroplated finish matches 14k gold components without the weight or expense, creating cohesion across multi-strand bracelets and tiered earring drops.

• Pack contains 20 individual crimp tubes
• Dimensions: 2mm outer diameter × 2mm length
• Base metal construction with gold electroplating
• Tube walls compress evenly with flat-nose or crimping pliers
• Accepts 0.45mm–0.60mm diameter beading wire
• Smooth interior prevents wire abrasion during threading

Use these for securing wire loops when attaching clasps to gemstone strand necklaces—the tube sits inside a fold of wire, gets crimped twice for redundancy, then trimmed clean. They work particularly well in convertible jewellery designs where you might swap out pendant drops seasonally; position a crimp tube on each side of a removable bail so the spacing stays consistent. Macramé artists sometimes incorporate them into wrapped wire accents, using the tube as a hidden anchor point where sliding knot cord meets rigid wirework in mixed-media wall hangings.

Flatten these with the outer notch of crimping pliers first to fold the tube into a crease, then use the inner notch to round the shape—this two-step method prevents sharp edges that could catch on fabric or skin. The gold plating holds up through moderate handling but will show wear at crimp points over time; for heirloom pieces, position the crimped section inside a decorative metal bead or behind a focal stone where it won’t receive direct friction. Compatible with 7-strand nylon-coated wire and silk-finish beading threads that need discrete anchoring without knots.

These pair naturally with gold-filled jump rings and wire guardians when building tiered designs—the warm metallic tone photographs consistently under both daylight and tungsten lighting, which matters when documenting finished work. At this diameter, they remain nearly invisible when nestled between 4mm spacer beads or tucked behind sterling silver findings in mixed-metal designs that play contrast against intention.
