[Nfb-krafters-korner] jewelry-making, about findings

Yes, when using the Lobster claw clasp or the one you described as a D
shaped clasp, on the other end of your project you would have a simple ring,
or hoop.  When the clasp is opened, Lobster claw, or D ring the simple ring
would go into the clasp and then be closed inside of the clasp.

As for the two ends that twist together.  I have a couple of necklaces with
that clasp.  It would not be good for a bracelet as you need 2 hands to open
and close it.  The right side and the left side screw together to close the
clasp.  I do not know the proper name of that type of clasp.

Hello Dixie,

Thanks for your help. I am getting there!

It does not appear that I have any toggle clasps in my package. However, the
lobster claw has now been identified and it does work as you describe. Now
with the lobster claw, you have that on one end of the necklace, but what is
on the other end? Perhaps a flat loop, or would I use another lobster claw
for the other side?

The clasp I described as shaped like a D also has a little thing to pull
back to open it, so however the lobster clasp works, I suppose this one
would be the same?

Did you see my post on the coil with the cap to take off on the end? Can you
identify that one now? Perhaps "coil" was not a good description, perhaps
tube-like. I would guess that this one is unscrewed and one piece placed on
each end of the jewelry.

Thanks,

Cathy
