Your application possibilities

These gold-plated open end caps are essential if you regularly create high-quality gold-look jewelry. Use them for professionally finishing pearl necklaces, gemstone necklaces, or other beaded jewelry pieces. The small open loop is specifically designed for permanently attaching the lobster clasp ring. Combine them with end caps featuring a large closed loop on the other side for a perfect closure system.

This is how the cap technique works

The cap closure is the classic and professional way to finish necklaces permanently and elegantly. Here's how it works: Thread your beads or gemstones and tie a secure knot at the end. Place a drop of shellac or jewelry glue into the open cap. Place the knot inside the cap and gently press it closed with pliers so that the knot is securely glued and concealed. The small open loop will protrude. Attach the ring of the lobster clasp to this loop and close it with pliers to create a permanent connection.

The perfect locking system

To create a professional chain clasp using the dome technique, you use two different domes: On one side, a dome with a small open eyelet, to which you permanently attach the carabiner ring. On the other side, you use a dome with a large closed eyelet, into which the carabiner is hooked when attaching the chain. This system ensures a secure and comfortable closure.

Size selection

The outer diameter of the cap depends on the size of your necklace links. These caps have a diameter of 3 mm and are suitable for fine to medium-sized necklaces. Choose the cap size so that it is proportional to your beads or gemstones. Caps are available in various diameters, so you can find the right size for every project.

Advantages of gold plating

The gold plating gives the domes a warm, luxurious golden sheen that perfectly complements gold clasps, pearls, and gemstones. The gold-plated surface on sterling silver offers a high-quality alternative to pure gold, allowing you to create elegant gold-look jewelry at an attractive price.

Application tips

Here's how to use the open caps correctly: Tie a secure knot at the end of your thread. Place a small drop of shellac or jewelry glue inside the open cap. Place the knot inside and let the glue dry briefly. Carefully press the cap closed with flat-nose pliers until it is securely shut. Be sure to apply even pressure to avoid damaging the gold plating. Then attach the lobster clasp to the small open loop and close it with pliers.
