Hey Jill! Just wanted to commend you and your Team for the exceptional service! I just received my clasps so I can finish up the 3 projects that were waiting on them. You’ll be seeing my orders quite often. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for doing the demo on the small delicas. I have just finished my first peyote bracelet with delicas and could not get a clasp to look right. The veritcal loops are the answer and you showed me how to use! Right on time!
At Last. I'm a newbie, well at beads anyway, 70 in fact, the clasps for Peyote cuff bracelets is so, well naff it deifies belief. A really beautiful piece of work is spoilt by the clasps, so these are a great find. Thanks Gill
Love these clasps - can't think why they weren't invented sooner. Jill - I've been waiting ages for you to restock them in 4 strand silver colour. Emailed June about it ages ago & had to buy them elsewhere.
Wonderful clasp, makes total sense to turn those loops. Could you also request a gunmetal finish over base metal? I'd much prefer that over copper, just my personal preference... Thank you!
The only way I've been able to use the old style slide clasps is to weave a finding in and use a jump ring to connect with the slide clasp. The vertical slide clasps that Jill is selling from her shop are much easier to weave into a beading design.
Love the clasp, shame it’s so expensive for customs charges in the uk. As an aside Jill. My old eyes aren’t what they were, what are your eye optics called?
I literally gasped when I saw the vertical loops on that clasp!! Like you, I have decided these slide clasps are my favorite to use... I wish I could buy them in bulk (any chance you will sell them in nice bulk options? Hint, hint! Lol). Love these, Jill... I will be ordering some **very** soon!
Jill I am pretty much a new beader and have done the herringbone bracelet and have your wonderful clasp. I was hoping that the demo would have been done on your herringbone bracelet and not the peyote.
Bless you Jill! As a beginner I've been wondering for hours how to attach the tube clasp to a Miyuki delicas bracelet I've just finished. Thanks so much!
Suggestion: in addition to silver and gold filled options it would be really nice if the end caps on the slide could be modified so they are closer the the loops at the end. This may require a slight modification in shape of the end caps (from round to slightly oval) so that they don't interfere with inserting the needle into the loop.
This is a very bright idea! I just never use these clasps, because the magnets are so weak... I would need to make a kind of security chain, wich I hate, because it catches on everything....
Mary Ann Neuroth It looks very much like the Tutorial by Beadaholique titled "How to do Herringbone with Two-Hole beads". I've made several of these same bracelets from that tutorial so I really don't know if Jill, or anyone else, has also done similar ones. Hope this helps!
Ditto! I've actually seen that pattern before and have an 'idea' of how it is done, but I LOVE those colors. I'd buy that kit w/pattern in a heartbeat.
