Using Spring Clasps for Beaded Jewelry

Video Transcript

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is different clasps that you would use for bracelets and necklaces. The traditional one is a spring ring. It works, well it's a little bit more difficult to use especially if you have nails like I do, but it has a little spring on it that shuts and opens. This one is the same but it's called a bear claw and it also has a spring that you open and shut. Then this clasp has a catch so it actually is a little bit extra security with it and you open it up like so and you weave it through, oops, weave it through and then you weave it through again to put it back into it. A lot of people use these for fine pieces like pearls. Here is the clasps that we were talking about and I can show you in the magazine there are several different styles. You can see them with different animals and hearts and shapes and that is the trigger and the push lobster and the animal clasp. You can see there are several different ones you can order from."
