Jewelry Making

adobeprincess asked:


I need to find a clasp that I can attach to leather cord. The problem I am finding is that most of these are either sterling or base metal which I am allergic to. Do you know of a solution of how I can attach a clasp to a choker of leather round cord? I need to be able to make it a specific length. This is my problem. Any solutions? I need some metal or other material that is not base meal and does not contain nickel.

Any solutions would be appreciated.
Eye I love that word canabalize. Well there are tons of things that an allergic person can use. If you want to know you can research that one for yourself. I can use that idea however. Jewelry Supply catalogs have many other options. Basically anything without nickel will work. Think about it animal vegtable mineral whatever will work. Just without nickel. I am trying to make something nice here, so at this point I am not using plastic, but it is an option.
Thanks for mentioning the leather on leather tie option people I know about that one and it is good. I am going for a clasp right now.
Thanks for mentioning Michaels and the like. I think they are kind of pre-fab and low end. I really think they are expensive for what a person gets. I like more wholesale higher quality items rather than mass market stuff. I go for the more unique or the higher quality stuff. Thanks for the michaels however. I think it is important to get bead stuff from all sources. Yard sales junk stores and even michaels sometimes, just I find their findings really expensive and limited for what you get. Thank you anyway. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for mentioning wood that is a good idea. I have not thought of lately.
