Hollow Balls (Open/Stop Balls)

Lock a bead exactly where you want it or finish an end cleanly—no soldering needed. These hollow “open” balls slip onto the chain and crimp closed to create a permanent stop for tags, pendants, spacers, or hardware.

• What they do: set fixed stop points, tidy up cut ends, and keep components from sliding.

• Sizes: matched to common gauges — #3 (3/32" · 2.4 mm), #6 (1/8" · 3.2 mm), #10 (3/16" · ~4.5 mm).

• Materials/finishes: stainless, nickel-plated, brass, black, and select antique tones to pair with your chain.
