I can either make you one or send you instructions on how to do it.

Hi Cathy,

Could you post this somewhere, please?

Here is a tutorial on hook clasps, "S" clasps, and essential wire techniques. http://conniefox.com/Education/WireS...impleClasp.htm

I wrote it out with rough diagrams for Jerin, and posted it to her by mail. I'll either do it again or ask her to send me a copy so I can do it again neatly

Knotty Panda,

Thanks for the link to the tutorials! I bookmarked it for future reference-- always looking to improve my skills.

oooOh, very pretty!

I would love to know how to make these and I LOVE the look of the 'S' with a bit of a hammered look.

We have one more clasp to test, and if this one is a bust too...I'll take somebody up on the offer of a rolled gold one.

I'll tell her she's been the topic of conversation amongst all the pearl folks. That should tickle her pink! Thanks yall for your help.

I printed out the ones I liked so I could refer to them easily if I needed to. Don´t forget the pencil-as-a-mandrell-tip, it made a huge difference and I thought it up myself.
Wire comes in round, half round and square. I´ve only used round, square looked interesting but it cost more.
Side cutters are important too, for a good clean cut. The ones I just got happened to be slanted (angled) but they work fine and cut better than my older ones. Quote

I hope the links are working and of some help.
