Bead Stoppers
Sun Enterprises' wholesale Bead Stoppers are small components used to prevent beads, sliders, and other components from moving along a cord — particularly useful in designs where beads need to be held in a fixed position rather than sliding freely.
The range contains 5 products: four sizes of rubber ring stopper (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm) and one antique silver metal bead stopper. All rubber rings are sold in packs of 100 at €7.00 per pack (€0.07 per piece), making them one of the most cost-effective components in the range.
Products in the Range
- Rubber rings (4 products) — 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm: black rubber O-rings that are pressed onto the cord and grip it through friction. They sit invisibly beside a bead and hold it in place without adhesive. Sold in packs of 100 at €0.07 per piece (€7.00 per pack). Size refers to the inner diameter — match to your cord diameter.
- Antique silver metal bead stopper (44365) — 8mm × 4mm × 4mm: a small spring-loaded metal clip that snaps onto the beading wire or cord. Sold by weight (100g pack, approximately 500 pieces at €0.003 per piece, €18.00 per pack). Used in beading wire designs where rubber rings are not grippy enough.
- En rupture de stock
- Nouveau

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rubber ring bead stopper?
A rubber ring bead stopper is a small O-ring that is stretched over a leather cord and positioned beside a bead. The rubber grips the cord through friction, preventing the bead from sliding along the cord. They are not glued — they can be repositioned during assembly and removed if the design changes.
How do I choose the right rubber ring size?
Match the inner diameter of the rubber ring to the diameter of your leather cord. For a 3mm cord, use the 3mm rubber ring. The fit should be snug enough to grip the cord without slipping, but not so tight that it damages the leather surface.
Can bead stoppers be used with beading wire instead of leather cord?
Yes. The metal spring-clip bead stopper (44365, antique silver) is specifically suited to beading wire, where it grips the wire without the friction-based approach of the rubber rings. Browse our crimp beads range for an alternative cord/wire termination method.
