What customers say about Beadhouse
Which tool should you use?
An easy way to make necklaces and bracelets is by using crimp beads along with tiger wire, jewelry wire, clasp and jump ring. It requires only one tool and can be made at home at the dining table by anyone.
When making jewelry with crimp beads, the most important tool is a pair of needle-nose pliers. It is small and can be inserted into the space between the last bead and the clasp or eyelet to clamp the clamping bead in place to fix the thread.
If you don't already have a pair of pliers, you can find one here at a reasonable price.
If you work with tiger wire or other jewelry wire, be aware that it is a steel wire twisted from several thin wires and coated with nylon.
Steel is incredibly strong and will unfortunately destroy most jewelry making pliers, so rather use an old pair of scissors that you won't be upset about breaking.
Clamp beads and crimps for jewelry making
Clamp beads are an important part of jewelry making with jewelry wire and tiger wire. They are used to attach clasps and create a durable finish to bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry.
Clamp beads are also called crimps or crimp beads and are available both as round and cylindrical crimp beads. Which type you choose depends on the design of the jewelry and your personal preferences.
It is crucial for a good jewelery design that it both is functional and durable, but aesthetics are of course also important. This is exactly where clamp beads come into the picture.
With clamp pearls, there is no more ugly knots at the end of your pearl chain, and at the same time you get a more professional result. In addition to clamp beads, you can also buy locks, Jump rings, chain extenders and tiger wire here in the webshop.
