These beads caps are handmade, handstamped, shaped and finished by by me in my studio.
They are made with 22 gauge sterling silver sheet.
This is for 2 pair or 4 bead caps as shown in the picture.
They are stamped with moons and stars, then "antiqued" to bring out the design. Then they are tumbled to nice shine. The perfect accent for your beads when used with silver or copper tubing and cored to the bead.
The dimensions were measured with my digital calipers and are as follows:
Diameter ~ 15.21 mm
Hole size ~ 5.26 mm
If coring the beads with silver tubing, the tubing size for Pandora beads fits this cap perfectly. The larger hole will allow larger beads to be strung easily on silver chains, silk ribbons, etc. Pandora tubing has an OD (outside diameter) of 5.08 mm and these will not fit as far as I know. Tubing that fits Troll beads has an OD of approx. 4.80. These caps will work, but you will need to adjust your tubing "lip" accordingly.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
