BeadSmith Bead Bandit 4pc Set in Silver

End caps and bars are crucial components in jewelry making used to finish and secure the ends of cords, wires, or beaded strands, providing a polished and professional look. End Caps are small metal or decorative pieces that fit over the ends of cords or wires. To use end caps, simply slide the cord or wire into the cap and then crimp or glue it in place, depending on the design. End caps not only cover raw edges but also provide a secure attachment point for clasps or jump rings, helping to create a seamless transition between the jewelry and its closure. Bars are similar but are typically used to gather multiple strands of beads or cords into a single, neat point. They come in various styles, such as tube bars or decorative bars, and are often used in multi-strand designs. To use a bar, you thread the ends of the strands through the bar and then secure them in place with crimp beads or glue, creating a tidy, organized finish that allows for easy attachment of clasps or other findings. Both end caps and bars enhance the durability and appearance of jewelry designs, making them essential for achieving a professional and finished look. 4 pieces per set.
