How to Use Gunmetal Crimp Tubes

These crimp tubes are ideal for creating finished connections when working with flexible braided jewelry-making wire. Follow these simple steps:

1. Slide on the crimp: Thread one gunmetal crimp tube onto the end of your braided beading wire.
2. Attach your clasp: Pass the wire through the loop of your jewelry clasp, jump ring, or connector.
3. Loop the wire back: Bring the wire back through the same crimp tube, forming a small loop around the clasp.
4. Adjust the loop: Gently pull the wire until the loop is the desired size, leaving enough space for the clasp to move freely.
5. Secure the crimp: Use appropriately sized jewelry crimping pliers to compress and fold the crimp tube around both sections of wire.
6. Finish your jewelry: Check the connection for security, then trim or tuck the remaining wire as appropriate.

Helpful Jewelry-Making Tip: Always choose a crimp tube that accommodates two passes of your braided wire. Match your crimp size and crimping pliers to your wire diameter, and avoid excessive pressure that could damage the wire.

Why Choose Gunmetal Crimp Tubes?

Gunmetal is a popular jewelry finish because of its rich, dark metallic appearance. It offers an attractive alternative to traditional silver and gold finishes, especially for modern, industrial, and dramatic jewelry designs.

These gunmetal crimp tubes coordinate beautifully with black onyx, hematite, smoky quartz, tiger eye, Czech glass beads, and sparkling crystal beads. Their compact size makes them useful for delicate bracelets and necklaces when paired with compatible beading wire.
