Grade ‘A’ Rhinestone Multi Strand Linking Bead – (19mm)

Description

Rhinestone Multi Strand Connector

How do you manage six strands of delicate beadwork without creating a tangled mess at the clasp? This 19mm rhinestone multi strand connector solves the geometry problem that stumps many crafters attempting multi-row necklaces or cuff bracelets. Each end features three parallel holes that gather separate strands into a single architectural junction point, letting you build dimensional jewellery that maintains clean lines from every viewing angle. The lightweight metal construction means it won’t drag down fine silk cord or lightweight chain, while the rhinestone detailing adds deliberate sparkle where strands converge.

• Length: 19mm with 8mm width provides substantial presence without overwhelming delicate strands
• Middle hole diameter: 2mm accommodates beading wire, leather cord, or doubled thread
• Side hole diameter: 1.2mm sized for standard tigertail, silk thread, or fine chain
• Three-hole configuration on each end creates symmetrical strand distribution
• Grade A rhinestones set in gold-tone base metal with secure prong settings
• Lightweight construction suitable for earring drops or pendant connectors

Use this three hole connector bead as the structural cornerstone of a triple-strand pearl bracelet, positioning it at each end before your clasp to keep strands evenly spaced. It works beautifully in macramé wall hangings where you need to transition from multiple cords into a single hanging loop—thread your waxed cotton cord through the side holes and add a jump ring to the centre. For chandelier earrings, hang three chains of varying lengths from the bottom holes and attach the top centre hole to your ear wire. The multi-row bracelet component function shines in memory wire projects too, where you can anchor three coils together at intervals for a cohesive cuff design.

The gold finish carries a warm champagne undertone rather than brassy yellow, photographing well against both cool silver components and warm rose gold accents. Rhinestones catch light from multiple angles thanks to their faceted cuts, creating movement even in stationary pieces. When pairing with natural gemstones, the connector sits particularly well alongside citrine, amber, or tiger’s eye in earth-toned palettes. At 19mm total length, it reads as a deliberate design element rather than hidden hardware—consider this when planning your overall piece proportions, especially in choker-length necklaces where it will sit prominently at the nape.

Clean rhinestone settings with a soft dry cloth after each wear to prevent dulling from skin oils or cosmetic residue. The 1.2mm side holes work smoothly with 0.45mm beading wire or size D Nymo thread, while the 2mm centre accommodates up to 1.5mm leather or doubled beading wire for reinforced strength. Australia Beads stocks this connector as individual beads, letting you purchase exactly the quantity your current project demands without overbuying bulk packs.
