Lots of perfectly lovely jewelry is made using chain, bead links with wire or beads on stringing wire. However, there are so many other possibilities!
Silk ribbon and cording is popular in jewelry making today, as are leather cords, suede strips, cotton cord and even waxed linen twine.
Most of those alternate items can just be knotted in the back, but what if you want a bracelet or a necklace that doesn’t fit over the head or just need a nicer finish?
That’s where cord ends come in. In today’s video I’ll show you a variety of cord ends and give tips for how to use them.
Here are just a few cord ends to get you started. Be sure to check the size against the cording you want to finish.
- Fold Over Cord Ends for Leather,3mm,Silver
- Fold Over Cord Ends for Leather, 3mm, Antiqued Brass
- Fold-Over Cord End, Nickel Free Gold Plate
Enjoy the video and happy creating!

Those do add a nice finishing touch. I love the silk cords, btw.
Aren’t they pretty? I really do need to use them, rather than just hoard them. 😀
Hi! Are there any water proof cords for jewelry? Thank you
Hi Claire, You could use buna cord, I believe it’s made of rubber.
