Industrial Strength SS Fixed Bead Ring

Unlike captive bead rings, where the bead is held in place by the tension of the ring, fixed bead rings have a ball fixed to one side of the ring. The ring is annealed which means you can easily bend the ring open to insert it in your piecing and then just bend the end back into place. This fixed bead ring is made from 316LVM ASTM F-138 implant grade stainless steel.
