May I ask what your preferred ways of finishing a necklace or bracelt are? I'm very new to this, I only started last July and then discarded my first piece for a little while and picked up again, I believe, in the early autumn.
I used to put a dab of superglue into the callotte (and on me too usually) and then I would plier it closed and this has worked so far, but recently two of my necklaces lost their callottes. The first time I was wearing one and one of the four strings came loose (I don't think it was long enough truthfully) and the second time, I was just hanging the necklace on a piece of dowling to keep it from tangling and the clasp came off in my hand. Luckily I was in the house both times.
I have, this week, tried knotting the thread around a single seed bead and then enclosing that by itself in the callotte.
Is there a preferred way? A better way? An easier way than gluing myself to findings?
Thank you for any help you may offer.
