I have really enjoyed sharing my thoughts and stories with you. I’d like to end this week talking about endings…to necklaces, that is!
Even three years ago when I started making jewelry, clasps for necklaces were fairly simple; spring rings, lobster clasps and a few fancier toggle and hook clasps. Now there are so many fantastic finds.
These clasps are truly works of art. I am particularly fond of the
Israeli sterling silver clasps available at great online stores like
Art Beads, Fusion Beads and Gemshow-Online. Since
these findings are hollow, the price is right too! Many designer and
specialty silver clasps can range from $5 to $20. The Israeli silver
clasps sell anywhere from $3 to $10 (watch for sales and specials for
the best deals). The designs are unique and add quality to your
designs. And they look every bit as good as many of the solid silver
closures. Below are a few of my favorites.
You decide!
Happy beading!
