Video Transcript

"Next thing I want to talk about is the crimps. The crimps are what to finish off your necklace and your bracelet with. It's what locks it in so that it doesn't fall off of your wire. There are two different crimps that I use. There's this one that's a little bit shorter and this one's a little bit longer, it looks like a tube crimp. I, when I use the shorter ones, I used them on this necklace, you can I've done two of them and I've crimped them on there with double the wire. That makes sure that it's a strong hold so that if your customer accidentally kind of pulls on it, it's going to last a little bit longer than a normal single crimp or and especially if you use the right crimping tool, you'll get a better hold on your necklace. They are sterling silver and here is for instance, showing all the different crimp tubes there are. There's a smaller to larger and of course you can see the diameter, there's a difference to as well. So if you're doing three or four different strands of necklaces, you would want to use the larger crimp."
