Sterling Silver 2 x 2mm Crimp Tube
This 2mm x 2mm sterling silver crimp tube is our best selling crimp bead and an essential item in a jewelry designer's bead box. Featuring a simple shape and brilliant sterling silver luster, this crimp tube is small enough to blend into designs and large enough that it isn't too difficult to manipulate. For best results use a bead crimping tool to achieve a secure crimp that will hold your designs in place.

Pros: Quality, Size, Unique, Color, Ease of Use
Cons: Price

Creation: All of my bracelets and necklaces.
"I have bought crimps from 4 other internet sites and these are by far the best out there! The others I bought were thinner walled or had a dull finish or cracked when I tried to close them. The crimps from Art Beads may cost a few pennies more, but in my opinion they are well worth it. I like to be proud of what I make and want my jewelry to last, so I won't buy them anywhere else again!"

"I've bought crimps from a variety of sources and I can tell the difference from the ones I get from Art Beads. These sterling silver 2x2 crimp beads are the perfect size for the 0.18 19 strand nylong over stainless wire I use and not only crimp well but look very nice. I still cover them with a sterling crimp cover since I'm working with a slightly upscale price point in my jewelry. I think this item adds alot to the look of the finished piece."

"Tubes are much better than the older bead crimps. The crimp end is much cleaner and you don't really have to use a crimp cover if you make a good crimp."

Pros: Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality
Cons: Price
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing, bead crochet, wire wrapping and more
Creation: All my designs that require crimp beads
"I have used a variety of crimp beads from different vendors and the quality and consistency of my purchases from Artbeads is highly superior to other competitors; online or in store.
At first, I used to use the magic crimping tool with these, but in some heavier designs they were not holding long-term as I discovered. I changed to using a standard crimping plier and a crimp cover and now feel items are secure as they should be. It may cost a little more to have to use a crimp cover (simply my personal taste due to my compulsive detailedness), but I love the outcome and don't think I could be happier."

"I've been using these for years. Hands down, an essential if you make jewelry. Don't use the other types of crimps out there, this is the only one to use in my book. Looks clean and I know it's going to hold my bracelets or necklaces together!"
