Place a small amount of adhesive (Loctite®) inside the first crimp (optional).
Using crimping pliers crimp the crimp bead closest to the clasp. Pull the second crimp snugly. Repeat to glue and crimp the second crimp bead. Using flush-cutters trim the excess wire from the short end of the beading wire. Place one gold-plated 4mm stardust crimp cover over each crimp bead then gently close it.
