Start by putting a crimp on the bead wire. Next feed the bead wire through the wire guardian and feed your clasp onto the guardian. Now pass your wire back through your crimp bead. Cinch up the wire with the clasp in the loop of the guardian. Remove excess slack in the wire and crimp everything in place.

Heavy Duty 4mm closed sterling silver jump rings are perfect for attaching bead cord to the open ring that comes with many lobster clasps. They are too small to clip the lobster into. We suggest you use a 5mm or 6mm ring or a piece of silver chain for that side. Quantity
To use, thread a bead tip on your cord, tie a knot that will not pass through the hole, secure with a dab of glue to keep the knot in the bead tip. After drying, use your round nose pliers to attach the small hook on the bead tip to your ring or clasp. Bead tips are available in sterling, gold fill, or economy base metal with a plated finish.
