These 2mm fluted crimp beads in antique brass give you 500 pieces of a finding that does double duty — securing your stringing wire while adding a decorative metal accent right at the clasp or along the strand.
The metallic finish delivers a fully opaque, plated-metal look in a warm antique brass tone that reads as aged gold rather than bright or shiny.

What to make with them
Use them anywhere a standard crimp would disappear into the design but you'd rather it contribute — think multi-strand necklaces with exposed crimps, memory wire bracelets where the end treatment is part of the look, or knotted leather cord work where the fluted texture echoes other metal components.
Description
Crimp beads and Crimp tubes are a vital element when designing with beading stringing wire. What's the difference between a crimp bead and a crimp tube? Crimp beads are round and look like little metal seed beads. Crimp tubes are more cylindircal. Crimp beads take up less space in your design, but crimp tubes offer more surface contact with the wire, thus making them a bit more secure. Basically, you'll want to select a crimp tube when finishing off the ends of necklaces and bracelets, or when your crimp will not be highly visible. Choose a crimp bead when incorporating crimps into more visible areas of your designs such as when showcasing your wire, illusion designs, and when using them as accent beads or spacers.
Use a Crimping plier for best crimping results.
