Q.
What type of clasp should be used with natural silk cord?
- Wendy
A.
Any type of clasp that can accommodate the diameter of your silk cording is a good match. From there, it is best to choose a clasp that suits the style of your design. The way you finish the cording so it can accept the clasp will be dependent upon the type of clasp you choose.
