|
Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue
21-884-052 4mm round gemstone beads, natural agate
21-886-052 6mm round gemstone beads, natural agate
22-707-Yell-40 12-14mm bicone "vaseline" trade beads, yellow
39-110 3-Strand fold-over clasp (white plate shown; yellow plate also available)
61-723-49-87 49-strand 0.018" Beadalon(R) stringing cable, bright steel
41-258 Size 2 crimp beads (choose base-metal plating that matches clasp choice)
OR
41-652 Size 1 crimp tubes, 1/20 14kt gold fill (precious-metal option)
Notes: Although this clasp has 3 holes (so is technically for 3-strand necklaces and bracelets), it also works well for 2 strands. Loop one strand of Beadalon through holes 1 and 2 of the clasp, and loop the other strand of Beadalon through holes 2 and 3 of the clasp. This spaces them very nicely, and it is also quite secure.
