These 925 sterling silver side-hinge calotte bead tips, also known as clamshells, are ideal for finishing necklaces and bracelets with a neat, professional look. They are designed to hide knots or crimps while providing a secure attachment point for clasps.
How To Use
For wire:
Thread the wire through the calotte, add a crimp bead, and compress the crimp to secure it. Close the calotte over the crimp bead to conceal it and create a smooth, polished finish.
For thread:
Pass the thread through the calotte, tie a secure knot close to the base, then close the calotte to hide the knot neatly.
