Bead and Jewelry Supply - Bead Caps

Bead caps are generally silver or metal beads (such as Bali) that are crafted in the shape of a cone so they will fit on the top or bottom of a round bead.  They come in many intricate designs such as woven baskets, flowers, and more.  Bead caps are are wonderful accent beads.  Try this simple design idea--take a pair of your favorite round beads (plastic, faceted glass or crystal) and slide them onto a headpin, then place a bead cap of the same diameter on top, and make a loop to attach to your ear wires.  Voila!  Instant designer earrings.
