Clamshell Bead Ends (Stainless Steel)

Clamshell bead ends are essential jewelry findings used to neatly finish off beaded designs. They hide knots, secure thread or beading wire, and provide a professional, polished look to your handmade jewelry.

Made from stainless steel, these bead tips are strong, durable, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenicperfect for jewelry that lasts.

Features:

• Material: Stainless steel (rust and tarnish resistant)

• Design: Clamshell-style with two half-cups that fold together to conceal knots or crimps

• Function: Creates a loop for attaching clasps, jump rings, or connectors

• Size: Available in multiple sizes (commonly 4mm8mm)

• Finish: Shiny metallic look that matches most jewelry designs

• Durability: Unlike plated findings, stainless steel does not chip, peel, or fade

How to Use:

1. Tie a knot at the end of your beading thread/wire (or use a crimp bead).

2. Place the knot/crimp inside the clamshell.

3. Close the two halves gently with pliers until they form a neat ball.

4. Use the attached loop to connect to your clasp, chain, or finding.

Applications:

• Finishing beaded necklaces and bracelets

• Securing silk thread, nylon cord, or tiger tail wire

• Giving jewelry a professional, high-quality finish

• Great for both beginners and professional jewelers
