Silk ribbon doesn't always need a clasp. It's easy enough to tie into a cute bow at the back. In this design, I added beads to the ends for a fun finish. author signature

Attach one 6mm pendant in Denim Blue to one 0.65x4.6mm sterling silver open jump ring. Attach two 7mm briolette pendants in Crystal to another jump ring. Connect the two jump rings to a single sterling silver medium closed jump ring. Repeat this step.

String the bird tag onto the 32 inch royal blue silk ribbon. Hold the tag in place by stringing one 925/10 silver-filled 6mm smooth round bead onto each side of the bird tag and then string the Crystal accents from step two on either side of the silver-filled beads. Next string one 925/10 silver-filled 7mm smooth round bead onto each end of the ribbon and finish with a knot after each bead.
