Last year I had a chance to test some samples of large (4.5mm to 6.5mm) sterling leather cord end caps.  And yesterday I finally finished the sample piece.  (Don't say it, I know, I know.....)

Anyway, these were great sizes:  4.5mm, 5.5mm and the 6.5mm was too big for the cord stock I have on hand, but I'm excited about using these with 6mm cord.

Now the question:

Did you end up carrying these??  I've searched the site and can't find them.  I have a baggie the 3 sets came in, and it has 41Z899 written at the top, but even that doesn't come up.

Are they there somewhere? 

And I imagine now the price for the sterling version is exorbitant.  Will these be available in sterling plate, too?

Hi Luann,

I did not add the oversize end caps when I did not hear back from you about the samples.  I figured the end caps were not what you needed. 

You are right about the high price of silver, which will probably make the end caps too expensive.  I will do some research about silver plate and maybe some other platings. Since the product is from Israel and their Sabbath is tomorrow, it will be next week before I can get some pricing. 

Thanks for the input.

I'm the worst sampler ever!   Cheesy

They actually are very nice end caps and I wish I'd bought them when the price of silver wasn't ridiculous.
