Crush metal beads for creating unique jewelry

We offer a variety of metal tubes in different shapes and sizes. Our tubes can be used as spacers or as crush tube beads depending on their length.


What is a crush tube/bead?

A crush tube for jewelry is a small metal tube often used to secure jewelry wires, such as bead wires, preventing them from slipping out of the clasp. The tube/bead is placed on the jewelry wire, then the wire is folded and passed through the tube hole. Next, a flat/crushing plier is used to crush the tube, creating a strong and secure connection.
