Captive Bead Rings

316LVM ASTM F138 Captive Bead Rings

Our captive bead rings are made with 316LVM ASTM F138 stainless steel and are available in 18 gauge thru 8 gauge.

The 18 gauge rings are only single annealed for easy bending, but will still retain their shape. The 16 gauge thru 8 gauge rings are double annealed for easy bending, as they have thicker wire diameters and will not readily lose their shape.

The ends of our rings are tapered to ease insertion into a piercing needle and to securely hold the bead in place.
