Silvertone/Silver-Plated Findings

Findings are all those little bits that you need to make up your jewellery: crimps, connectors, earring wires and studs, clips, clasps (see clasps page), etc. See also Gunmetal and Copper and Brass. Earring findings are on their own page.

Where we know, we have listed what they are made off, but often our suppliers is unclear also. Please note the nickel allergies are becoming more and more common. We have ceased to carry any beads or findings with a known lead content. Silver and gold here referred to colour or plating. Gold and silver plating is thinner than gold-filled. Sterling Silver is on another page. Gold-filled and Karat gold is here.

Note: for scale, some items are shown on a gridded background. There are 4 squares to the inch in this grid.

Metal Crimps - Scrimps with Tool - Silverplated (1)
Ok - when I first saw this, I was skeptical. It's a crimp tube with a screw in the side, you put your beading cable through, and tighten up the screw with the tiny little screwdriver (included). Great idea, I thought - bet the screw works loose. But it doesn't. I've tried it and I've worn my $500 dragon necklace out gardening, and it doesn't come loose. You can adjust the tension after the fact, or even adjust the length, should you need to. I think these are the best thing since crimp covers, maybe better. They look surprisingly professional too. Use with a Wire Guardian for a very polished look. Includes 10 scrimps with screws and extra screws and a screw together/apart tool for tightening the impossibly tiny screw and storing the extra screws. The scrimps themselves are about 3 mm. A big thumbs up on this one! By the each.

Metal Crimps - Scrimps - Silverplated (10)
Screw tightened crimps. Love these. You do need to buy the impossibly tiny screw driver first. And possibly a magnifying glass. I really do like the look of these and the ease of use. Use with a wire guarding for a really pro-look. 3.5mm x 3mm By the pack of 10.
