My talented wife does beautiful bead-work, and needed some hook & eye clasps for a couple beaded necklaces she had created complete with faux stone pendants (faux Turquoise for the copper necklace, and faux Jade for the black necklace), that she had created from polymer clay… amazing work!
The copper necklace of course needed an antiqued copper clasp, and the black peyote stitch tube necklace was complemented with a brass clasp. The hook on the brass clasp is rotational so the tube necklace won’t bind and will roll freely with the movements of the wearer.
For both clasps, the copper or brass tubing was created from 24 ga. flat sheet, then cut to size and capped. The copper clasp was adorned with domed caps to match the barrel shape of the tubing ends. The hooks and eyelets were made with wire stock.
I had created these clasps 2 or 3 years ago when Kathy created the necklaces, but no photos of them had been taken until now.
Here is the copper-colored bead necklace Kathy made with the faux Turquoise pendant, and with the necklace rotated to show the copper clasp…
And here is the black peyote stitch tube necklace Kathy made with the faux Jade pendant, again with the necklace rotated to show the brass clasp…
