PH PandaHall 14K Gold Flower Bead Cap, 100pcs 10 Styles Bead End Caps Brass Filigree Metal Spacer Beads Caps End Charm Caps for DIY Earrings Bracekets Necklace Jewelry Craft Making
PH PandaHall box of 100 flower bead caps in 14K gold plated brass: 10 filigree styles, 10 of each, with 5 and 6 petal shapes from about 5.5mm to 8mm and 1 to 1.6mm holes.
Bead caps are a small detail with outsized impact: a plain 8mm gemstone framed by a delicate filigree cap suddenly reads as intentional, finished design. The trouble is that many assortments arrive stamped crookedly, sized wrong for standard beads, or plated so thinly the brass shows through after a month. This guide gathers bead caps that actually fit the beads you use most - 4mm through 14mm - and hold their finish. We compare filigree, petal, fluted, and plain dome styles, note which metals match popular findings lines, and flag sets with useful size distributions rather than hundreds of caps in one odd size. Use them to dress up simple strands or give focal beads a polished frame.
