Crimp endcaps are a fundamental component in jewelry making, designed to provide a neat and secure finish to the ends of cords, wires, or chains. These small findings come in various sizes and styles to accommodate different thicknesses of jewelry materials. The primary function of crimp end caps is to enclose the ends of a piece of jewelry, such as a bracelet or necklace, ensuring that the stringing material is securely fastened and that clasps or jump rings can be attached with ease.
To use them, a jewelry maker simply inserts the end of the cord or wire into the crimp end cap and then uses pliers to press or "crimp" the cap, securing the jewelry material, such as chain, in place.
