Frequently asked questions about the collection: jewellery findings

Q: do i need protectors for the ends of hatpins
A: Not necessarily, the protectors just wedge on the sharp ends once the pin has been drawn through the hat, so if your hatpins are just for display, or for something where they won't jab into anyone then you don't need a protector.

Q: Do you guys have any sterling silver charms?
A: We only currently sell Silver plated charms.

Q: do you have anything to attach a diamonte to a bobby pin as i am trying to make some bridal pins? many thanks jenny xx
A: Well we do have epoxy resin www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Epoxy-two-part-glue/bo1018 which is a glue that is great for sticking 2 different sorts of materials together, so it may work for attaching diamante.

Q: Do you sell the silicon ends for making a cord for a pair of glasses - if not any idea where I might find them please? Thanks
A: Yes we have spectacle ends in black www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Spectacle-end/bo869 and clear www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Spectacle-end/bo870

Q: do you stock backings for ears that are not pierced?
A: Yes, we have a few ear clips and ear screws in this collection: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/earring-parts/c424

Q: Hi. I'm buying various suede & leather, either 1mm or 2mm. But i get stuck knowing wharf size endings to fit on the end of them . Do they have to be exactly same? Sorry if that's an obvious question. Many thanks
A: The closer the size of the cord is to the end your using the neater it will look, but it does not have to be exact to fit securely in place. The flat ends: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Leather-crimp-flat/bo4037#item2800 are fixed in place using pliers to bend one side over onto the thread, then the next side on top of that so any size cord thinner than 3mm can be squashed inside although it will look neater with a thicker cord. The round ends come in two sizes www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Leather-crimp-round-small/bo4038#item2802 and www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Leather-crimp-round-tiny/bo4051#item4910 with these you use a pair of pliers to grip the very last coil and squeeze gently but firmly until the spiral grips the cord. You can double over the end of the cord to ensure a more snug and secure fit.

Q: I am finding that as a beginner I am looking for lots of different colours and sizes of findings...I can never find cone ends suitable for kumihimo and I wonderi f you do a mixed metals findingd set?? Thanks
A: We don't do a mixed findings set but we do have retail buying options for each of the findings so you can buy small amounts of each finding that you like.

Q: I am searching for silver coloured rings with 2 holes one directly opposite the other. Any ideas where I might find them?
A: I've asked our resident bead doctor but unfortunately we don't know of a name of the specific item your looking for.

Q: I have looked everywhere for jewellery enhancers, can you supply or help?
A: As far as I can see by searching the web 'jewellery enhancer' is a term used for a pendant that you can add to a necklace, something that dangles from a bail that you can just slip onto a chain. We don't have anything like that readymade but you can make you own from the pendants that we sell and a simple jump ring www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/jump-rings/c425

Q: I'm looking for something that looks like a jump ring with a little post so you can push it into fimo beads. Don't know what it's called - any ideas and/or do you have them!?
A: You can use an eyepin for this, you'll just have to cut the pin to the desired length www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Eyepin-SP/bo4098 and maybe add some glue to make sure it stays in. You could also use screw in eyelets.

Q: List all the findings/claps you got and give me brief about them
A: We have a massive range of findings and clasps, they are all arranged into different collections, then into groups within these collections.
