Bead caps can really change the way a bead looks. Cynthia used a multitude of different beads caps with the same bead in this cool bracelet. The result is an eclectic look full of texture and dimension. You can find more inspiration for using bead caps in your jewelry designs in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube onto the end, followed by a 925/10 silver-filled 6mm 18 gauge open jump ring attached to one half of the TierraCast antique silver large beaded clasp set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Slide a crimp tube onto the jewelry wire, followed by a jump ring attached to the other half of the toggle clasp set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
I had fun with bead caps for this design. It uses eight different kinds!
