We used either the TierraCast antique silver keepsake clasp set, the TierraCast antique silver leaf clasp set or the TierraCast 3/8-inch antique silver-plated pewter Anna's toggle and clasp set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a sterling silver 3mm crimp cover.
