Grade ‘A’ Rhinestone Connector Bead – (15mmx12mm)

Description

Rhinestone Connector Bead

When you hold this bar-style connector at an angle, do the individual crystal facets throw separate points of light, or does the whole surface read as one shimmer? That distinction matters when you’re layering strands or building structure into chandelier earrings. This rhinestone connector bead measures 15mm in length by 12mm in width, with faceted stones seated flush into the metal backing so they catch ambient light without snagging on thread or clothing. The dual holes positioned at each end accept 1mm cord or wire, allowing you to join segments with secure, weight-bearing connections.

• Rectangular bar format: 15mm long, 12mm wide
• Two 1mm holes positioned at opposite ends for multi-strand linking
• Grade A faceted crystals set into metal framework
• Flat profile sits flush against skin without protruding edges
• Each crystal cut to reflect light from multiple angles

Use this two hole connector to bridge parallel strands in cuff bracelets where you need even spacing between rows of gemstone beads, or anchor it vertically in dangle earrings to separate seed bead fringe from the ear wire attachment point. The 15mm length works particularly well in rhinestone jewellery where you’re alternating opaque and transparent elements—position it between matte rounds to create visual breaks that guide the eye along the design. Because both holes run parallel to the bar’s length rather than through its width, thread tension pulls evenly without torque.

String using flexible beading wire in 0.45mm diameter to allow smooth movement through the holes, or try nylon-coated steel cable if the finished piece will support heavier beads below the connector point. Clean with a dry microfibre cloth after wear to prevent dulling; avoid ultrasonic cleaners as vibration can loosen stone settings over time. The metal backing provides structural integrity without adding excessive weight, so pieces remain comfortable during extended wear even when you stack multiple connectors in graduated lengths down a necklace front.
