50 Tube Crimps Red Copper Jewelry Beads – (2.2mmX2mm)

Description

Tube Crimps Red Copper

Finishing a multi-strand design requires precise compression without visual distraction. These tube crimps in red copper deliver exactly that—cylindrical findings that flatten into secure grips when squeezed with crimping pliers, holding beading wire or tigertail in place while blending into warm metalwork. The antique finish carries a subtle patina that softens the look of raw copper, making transitions between beaded sections appear intentional rather than utilitarian. At just over 2mm in length, they vanish between beads rather than announcing their presence.

• Dimensions: 2.2mm length × 2mm width with 1.4mm threading hole
• Material: nickel-free, cadmium-free, lead-free metal in antique red copper finish
• Pack contains 50 tube crimps
• Cylindrical shape compresses evenly with flat-nose or crimping pliers
• Warm metallic tone complements brass, bronze, and rose gold components

Use these 2mm crimp beads to anchor clasp ends on necklaces strung with 0.45mm or 0.60mm beading wire—the 1.4mm hole accommodates doubled wire comfortably. They work beautifully in floating bead designs where you need to lock gemstone beads at specific intervals along the strand, creating suspended sections without visible knots. The antique copper colouring pairs naturally with carnelian, amber, and tiger’s eye in autumn-toned collections, or contrasts richly against turquoise and malachite.

Flatten each crimp in two stages: first compress into a crescent, then fold that crescent in half using the second notch of your crimping pliers for maximum hold. Compatible with tigertail wire up to medium weight, these also work on leather cord up to 1mm when you need a metal stop bead that grips without stitching. The red copper develops character over time, deepening slightly with wear while maintaining its grip strength.
