View Full Version : Need help with a finding for wire ends

I'm making a beaded necklace that's 4 strands of crocheted wire that are joined at the ends. The patterns says to twist the 4 ends together around a split ring (for placement in the clasp). I do not like the look of the twisted ends and was wondering if there was something that is made to cover the twisted ends.

I was envisioning a metal cone piece that would fit over the ends once they're twisted together.

My bead shop didn't have any and I wouldn't know what to google to look online.

Any ideas?

I've used these before, and they work great.

Thank you! That's exactly what I pictured might work.

You are so very welcome! I'm glad I was able to help you.
I have a few vintage necklaces that have those on them, and one of them broke, so I had to hunt some down so I could restring the necklace. I could have done it differently, but I wanted it to look the same as it did before I broke it.
