Using Gold Filled Beading Chain
Many types of beads can be used with this Gold Filled beading chain. Beads used should have hole sizes of about 0.7mm and up (to leave a bit of space for the chain to slip through). When crimping the crimp end loops with this chain, use a dab of glue (for extra security) and crimp using the lower crimping position on your crimping pliers (a small needle nosed plier will also work). In the example above, we used a Azurite-Malachite Teardrop Pendant as our center bead, surrounding it are two each of these beads: 2mm Gold Filled Plain rounds, 6mm Malachite Round Beads, 3.2mm Gold Filled Wide Rondelles, and 4mm Azurite-Malachite Round Beads.
Alternative Finishing Method for Beading Chain
Beading chain can also be used with clamshell bead tips to finish the ends. Please see our tutorial for the details: "Using bead tips with beading chain"
