Bead caps are primarily used to frame and enhance other beads, giving a piece of jewelry a sophisticated and finished look. 1. Enhancing Focal Beads Framing: The most common use is placing one bead cap on one or both sides of a larger, focal bead (like a crystal, pearl, or gemstone). Effect: The bead cap cups the main bead, making it appear more substantial and hiding any slight imperfections in the bead's hole or rough edges. It also adds texture and visual separation.
