Do they have to fold over on the sides like that?  Because if not, there are tons of them on Etsy, here and some on ArtFire, here.  But I don't see any long ones with the flaps on the sides like that, just shorter ones.

They are called ribbon crimp ends, or foldover crimp ends.

Hope this helps,

Cat

Were you ever able to find these crimp ends?  They look fantastic.  I've searched and cannot find them anywhere.

Hi,

I did a search and looked at about 100 different crimps, to no avail. You are so right, very hard to find.

No I was never able to find that exact crimp

Still would love to have them if anyone find them!!  In all my months of research, I believe they may be custom made somewhere in Virginia or Vermont.  Can't remember now, but I was hot on the trail for months with no luck.

I had a couple of these in my collection, but I am not sure which LBS I bought them at, it could have been anywhere as far north as  Frankinmouth, Mi to as far west as Chicago,IL, as far east as Pittsburgh, PA. and as far south as Georgetown, SC. And than again may have gotten them in a bead swap. Sorry I am not much help, but I will look around locally to see if I can find them.
