20 Silver Spring Clasp Connectors – (8mmX4mm)

Description

Spring Clasp Connectors

At 8mm in length and a slender 4mm width, each spring clasp connector functions like a miniature calotte that compresses around your cord when you apply firm pressure with chain-nose pliers. The spring mechanism inside grips textile fibres more reliably than glue-dependent bell caps, making them a favourite for creators who work with dyed cotton or delicate satin rattail.

• Dimensions: 8mm length × 4mm width, suited to 2–3mm cord diameters
• Material: Base metal with silver-toned plating, nickel-free finish
• Spring-loaded crimp design secures flat braid, round leather, and satin cord
• Pack of 20 cord end clasps, ready to pair with jump rings or lobster clasps
• Compatible with spring crimp connectors in antique gold and bronze for mixed-metal finishes

Thread the raw ends of a four-strand kumihimo braid through the connector’s opening, position it 5mm from the fold, then squeeze the outer shell until the internal spring bites down—no adhesive, no fraying tails. Resin artists embedding fabric into pendant bezels use these to cap frayed ribbon edges before setting, creating a polished junction between textile and metal. Beaders making convertible wrap bracelets thread ultrasuede through the connector, crimp it closed, then attach the spring ring to a metal bead chain extender for adjustable length.

Clean the plated surface with a dry microfibre cloth after handling; avoid prolonged contact with salty coastal air, which can dull the silver tone over time. The 4mm width accommodates jewellery cord up to 3mm thick—test your material beforehand if working with leather that stiffens when doubled. Australia Beads stocks these alongside matching European-style findings, so you can build cohesive finishing kits for every project in your studio.
