I make all these great bracelets, so my friends say, and they do great.. for awhile.
They fall apart.
The wire comes out of the crimp. I think I'm doing a good job, but I guess not.

Why Are My Crimp Beads Breaking?
I purchased Beadalon #1, 2.0mm crimp beads specifically for an illuson necklace using Beadalon .018 silver plated stringing wire, size M. Using a beadsmith microcrimper tool, about 50% of my crimp beads break. What am I doing wrong?

What Size Crimp Bead Cover to Use?
by Sherri

What size crimp bead cover should be used with each size crimp bead?
I currently use size 1/0 crimp beads but I don't know what size to order my crimp bead covers. It seems most places carry a size 3mm or 4mm.
Is this the right size to cover a 1/0 crimp bead or will it be too loose?

I am making bracelets with stretchy cord that I think is .08. I've been using the magnetic cylinder clasps, but these can be expensive. Can I use crimping beads to join the bracelets? What size should I use?

Necklace Finishing (crimp bead problem)
by Deb Agudelo
(Baltmore, MD USA)
Hello, I am using wire for beading necklaces.
I use a cone for a more finished look.
I use crimp beads as they seem secure but after the necklace is worn a couple of times the necklace comes apart and it is always the crimp bead that did not hold.
What am I doing wrong?
