How to Use Ball & Socket Clasps

[@nicbonhomme9877]

Dear Jill, Honestly, you are just one of the best "explainers of things" on yt. I always end up feeling like I have clarity around each technique. I've had your Beautiful Beaded Ropes book for years, and I'm still turning to it to improve my necklaces and bracelets. Thank you for your wonderful videos!

Where can I find instructions on bracelet on table? I love it! Thx

[@debbieevans5884]

Great useful video! Thank you. I love both bracelets shown in this KZbin, and I love the one with the super duos. Do you have a pattern or KZbin for that bracelet? Thanks.

They're my favorite clasp - secure, inexpensive, and look pretty.

Flat Festival of Lights and Mini Gem Duo bracelets PLUS how to use the Ball and Socket clasp.... have both of those bracelets on my To Do List and bought one of the clasps to try out. You are awesome Jill🥰

[@martikabeading]

Thank you Jill. I love them too and they are really nice looking and very light and easy to use on any bracelets. I actually like them on my necklaces too.

[@karencooper8055]

I love these for the same reasons. Also they are sometimes stiff at first !! But always loosens as you said..

I do love the ball and socket clasp! It's quite secure, and being fairly small, it doesn't take attention away from the jewellery itself. Jill, I LOVE the two bracelets shown in this video! The multicolored one looks so simple but sophisticated, and immediately made me think of Christmas. The blue one you're wearing is absolutely gorgeous, and my heart fluttered as soon as i saw it. Could you tell me the names of both bracelets, and are tutorials available for them?

Very helpful Jill. Beautiful bracelets as well. Thank you.

[@ellenhulslander2897]

I got a few of these a while back and never used them because I could not get the open to save my life. I'll have to dig them out and try again. Thanks!

[@aliciarodriguez2699]

Thanks I have lots and didn’t use them because I felt it was too hard. I’ll make my next bracelet with it. Thanks Jill for the video

[@CindyCazarez-f6o]

Jill, please could you do a video on adding the ball and socket clasp to a bracelet without the use of a jump ring? The objective would be to have both parts of the clasp lie flat with the bracelet vs. twisting.

[@sylviarobinson2912]

These have been my favorite clasp since I found them! To remove it, I put my finger under it and pull up from the section away from the attached ends.

Thank you Jill. I appreciate this video. 💝🥰

[@idonnakwcom]

These are my favorite clasps to use!

[@gaylemooney3142]

I love these too! Gotta get them more popular with people!

[@beckyj5875]

With the dexterity problems I have I think these would work great for me. By the way I love your bracelets.

[@heidiwatts1310]

These are hard to find in the uk but love the look of them ❤

[@castaway132]

I agree with Jill it’s one of my favorite types of clasps. ❤

[@pattymyers4729]

Thank you 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@joannedwardsen9384]

These are great, however I have had a few that didn't have a tight enough fit to stay closed so be sure to check for that before adding to your piece.

[@krismeier1276]

I LOVE ball and socket clasps! And I agree with all the tips Jill said. Plus when I take mine off I just get a fingernail under the side of the socket to pry it up. (Not so sure that would work for artificial nails though.)

[@patriciagimay9195]

Jill do you a video on making the Mini Gem Duo bracelet in this video? Thank you for your reply. Patricia

[@marthatownsend7702]

I do Like them, they are secure!

[@galemckiddy5120]

Thanks! I have some of them but haven’t used them because I thought they would not be secure enough. Which pattern is the blue bracelet you showed, please. I would love to make it! Thanks for your videos!

[@dianeclifford1153]

I love these.

[@BelieveinAngels55]

Yes ball & socket clasp are secure. It's plain and simple. All others clasps YOU WILL LOSE THE JEWELRY due to came earlier undone. Get real,
