How to Use SmartBeads
on Caprice Necklace
and Bracelet Chain:

How to Use SmartBeads on Caprice Necklace and Bracelet Chain
  1. Remove the eye-end of the clasp from one end of a caprice chain (see "How to Remove the End on a Caprice Chain").
  2. Slide the smart bead (or beads) onto the caprice chain.
  3. Twist the clasp end back onto the end of the chain to secure the bead or beads in place.

How to Remove the
End on a Caprice Chain:

  1. Using your fingers, grasp the eye-end of the clasp on one end of the caprice chain and turn it counter-clockwise; twisting until the end is removed. (Remember: Righty-tighty, Lefty-loosy).
  2. Slide onto the chain any large-hole beads you've selected.
  3. Place the clasp end back onto the chain end and twist clockwise to secure.

SmartBeads Design Tip:

SmartBeads may be used to hold focal beads in place on the Caprice chain, and because they don't lock down on the chain they are easily re-arranged to frequently update your designs.
