Frequently Asked Questions

What tools do I need?
Crimp pliers are recommended for a clean, rounded finish. Flat-nose pliers can also be used to flatten the crimp bead.

Which size should I choose?
Match the crimp bead size to your wire gauge. 2mm suits fine wire, 2.5mm works for most standard beading wire, and 3mm is best for heavier wire or cord.

What is the difference between 14K Gold and 18K Gold?
Both are gold-tone plated finishes. 18K Gold has a slightly warmer, brighter tone; 14K Gold is a softer, slightly more muted gold. Neither contains solid gold.
