I posted the below on another forum, but no luck. I really want nice, reliable crimps in these tones...

Does anyone have a favorite source for copper and bronze-tone crimp beads? For gold and silver my favorite are the Twisted Tornado (R) crimps. But in any other metal, I am always disappointed. Seems the copper and bronze ones are just a bit too thick, or just don't grasp the beading wire well at all. I've mostly gotten these at assorted LBS, so don't always know the origin.

Thanks!

I sell high quality copper crimp beads in my online store. They are a bit pricey but I have not had any necklaces come apart using them. I really like how they work up too, much easier than the sterling ones.

 Bronze I do not have nor have I seen any.
