45FI173-G: Scrimps 4.5mm Round 1.04mm Inner Diameter Gold - 10PPK is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Scrimps are Beadalon's clever alternative to standard crimp beads — a 4.5mm round metal finding with a 1.04mm inner diameter that you fold and lock with flat-nose pliers rather than crush, giving you a neater, more secure finish on strung jewelry. This pack contains 10 pieces in gold with a fully opaque, metal-like surface that reads like plated metal.
The metallic finish gives these a solid, plated-gold look — warm and polished without any translucency.
Use Scrimps to terminate beading wire on necklaces and bracelets where a clean, rounded finish matters more than a flattened crimp bead, or work them into multi-strand designs where the 4.5mm round profile holds its own visually alongside larger focal beads. Keep them away from abrasives and chemicals to maintain the finish.

Scrimps from Beadalon are a unique alternative to crimp beads. Scrimps look professional and are simple to use. Scrimps easily fasten to your beading wire with a tiny screw inside the finding. Simply thread your cable strand through the scrimp, attach your clasp, (wire guardians are highly recommended), go back through the scrimp and secure with the tiny screw. If you tire of your jewelry creation, don't worry: Scrimps are re-usable!
