"Hi, my name is Ella Seltzer for Expert Village. Now we are going to add to our jump rings to either end of the chain and we are also going to add on the clasp. Take the jump ring and repeat the same process as we did before 2 pairs of pliers back and forth and now you add your lobster clasp onto the jump ring. Through the end of the whole at the end of the clasp and once again close your jump ring with 2 pairs of pliers. This is our necklace before we insert crystals, here is I used a lobster clasp which is a popular form of clasp, it is a price or using a spring which you push the lever down and push it like this but of course there is many many different types of clasp that you can use. Arranging from incredibly elegant crystal in crested clasp to simpler hook a eye clasp or magnetic clasp for people who don't like operating clasp at all and that is on a simple chain like this is advisable to use something smaller."
