Question Hi, I have a beaded necklace that broke. The wire came undone from the loop. It is a wire that was bent into a loop like shape and tucked into a very tiny "clamp like" bead. I think I can fix it myself but I want to purchase these little "clamp-like" beads. Do you know what these are called? Thanks so much.
Heidi
Answer Hello Heidi,
I think that you would be able to get these supplies from a beading shop or a jewellery / stone supply house such as sapphex in Australia or Bwanalon in Santa Monica - if it still exists.
Alternativley, somone like Spotlight may carry such items.
