It depends on the bracelet/necklace. Some beads have holes large enough to
fit over the crimp, so there's going to be movement no matter what you do. Sometimes I will use two or three of the tiny crimps in a row to make room. Sometimes I will leave a larger loop at the end. Sometimes I tear my hair out in frustration! LOL - seriously - it really depends on the make-up of the piece. Lots of experimentation and practice will help. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Yes - I use the 1mm tube crimps. Sterling silver holds up the best. Maybe this is a silly question... When using 1mm crimps, do you leave a slightly larger loop on the clasp end? Even my mini-crimp tool seems to be at least 2mm wide, so I haven't been able to figure out how to use smaller crimps yet.
