Useless Beading Disaster

This jewelry finding from the Arts and Crafts section is a complete waste of money. The clam shell design is clunky and difficult to maneuver, making it frustrating to use. The only positive is that it can hold beads securely, but the cons far outweigh the benefits. Avoid this disaster and look for a different bead tip option..

Pros
  • Provides a clean and professional looking finish to jewelry projects.
Cons
  • Requires some skill to use properly without damaging the wire or stringing material.

bead caps break easily

I have made necklaces and bracelets but the bead tip/clasps are very weak and break in half. This happened several times. I had to buy someone else's product to use it.

Pros
  • Brass-based alloy clamshell calotte; Strong and durable; rust and tarnish resistance; Lead and nickel free; Easy to attach
Cons
  • Some bugs
