It was a sterling silver setting so I didn’t have too many problems. Also, I would also recommend using a file to smooth the edges once you’ve cut the chain apart.

It will be with the bridal trims. JoAnn Fabrics carried it when I worked there years ago. I assume they still have it.

Snipping the ends is a good way and using a cap is also a good way to camouflage the end. Also I have removed the rhinestone, removed the little latch, put my wire, thread, whatever through the hole, secure it then put the stone back in once I attach wire or chain or what ever I am using it with. Hope this makes sense, it’s easier for me to show than to explain…

inside, once it dries you can make your by cutting off the pin to length you want then add your hook.
Hope this helps,
Barbara

I bought mine on Ebay. Just make sure you get the right size.
