Product Demonstration: Slide Clasps with Vertical Loops

I'm SO happy these slide clasps exist! It's always been a problem when the loops lay flat to make proper connections to the beadwork. No longer!!
You can find the Vertical Loop Slide Clasps here:

Hey Jill! Just wanted to commend you and your Team for the exceptional service! I just received my clasps so I can finish up the 3 projects that were waiting on them. You’ll be seeing my orders quite often. Thanks again!

[@grannymontoya8169]

Yippy, Thank you for the step by Step instructions. I can't tell you how greatful I am. Bead on.

[@billieb]

Thank you so much for doing the demo on the small delicas. I have just finished my first peyote bracelet with delicas and could not get a clasp to look right. The veritcal loops are the answer and you showed me how to use! Right on time!

[@pennydorrington8989]

At Last. I'm a newbie, well at beads anyway, 70 in fact, the clasps for Peyote cuff bracelets is so, well naff it deifies belief. A really beautiful piece of work is spoilt by the clasps, so these are a great find. Thanks Gill

[@trduesing4117]

Thank you Jill...the new clasps are brilliant! I've often wondered why the loops were placed the way they were! Now we have more options...YEA!

[@malak2858]

thank you for the demo i've been seeing many beaded jewelry artists use them and wanted to give it a try

[@lindafyfe3154]

Love these clasps - can't think why they weren't invented sooner. Jill - I've been waiting ages for you to restock them in 4 strand silver colour. Emailed June about it ages ago & had to buy them elsewhere.

[@rm7095]

These are perfect. I like to use wire protector over using beads for loops. I will not need to use small jump rings which is difficult.

[@kettapeters5494]

Wonderful clasp, makes total sense to turn those loops. Could you also request a gunmetal finish over base metal? I'd much prefer that over copper, just my personal preference... Thank you!

[@PMabq]

The only way I've been able to use the old style slide clasps is to weave a finding in and use a jump ring to connect with the slide clasp. The vertical slide clasps that Jill is selling from her shop are much easier to weave into a beading design.

[@fuzzylop9164]

Love the look of these clasps. I was looking for that because I did not like the other orientation. Thank you.

[@amydavis4945]

I literally gasped when I saw the vertical loops on that clasp!! Like you, I have decided these slide clasps are my favorite to use... I wish I could buy them in bulk (any chance you will sell them in nice bulk options? Hint, hint! Lol). Love these, Jill... I will be ordering some **very** soon!

[@edwardinejones5099]

This is awesome finally, thanks Jill.

[@bernadettepapp8991]

Jill I am pretty much a new beader and have done the herringbone bracelet and have your wonderful clasp. I was hoping that the demo would have been done on your herringbone bracelet and not the peyote.

[@orangegem]

Hello, me too. Just finished my 1st superduo herringbone bracelet - Thank You, Jill! Please show how to attach same clasp in superduo herringbone.

[@sandrashack8867]

Bless you Jill! As a beginner I've been wondering for hours how to attach the tube clasp to a Miyuki delicas bracelet I've just finished. Thanks so much!

[@Miastrong930]

Suggestion: in addition to silver and gold filled options it would be really nice if the end caps on the slide could be modified so they are closer the the loops at the end. This may require a slight modification in shape of the end caps (from round to slightly oval) so that they don't interfere with inserting the needle into the loop.

[@TheWiseMagpie1]

This is a very bright idea! I just never use these clasps, because the magnets are so weak... I would need to make a kind of security chain, wich I hate, because it catches on everything....

[@thesararose]

A sterling silver and gold-filled version would be fabulous!!!

[@bobbibuttons8730]

Love the clasp, shame it’s so expensive for customs charges in the uk. As an aside Jill. My old eyes aren’t what they were, what are your eye optics called?

[@marthacoleman1195]

I like stainless steel in the slide bar clasp, would love it if they would offer that.

[@hlm1972]

These are nice. I agree with you about Sterling Silver and gold filled....if more people ask for those with these clasps, would that help?

[@barbarahauck2039]

Brilliant. Who knew! Thank you.

[@nyllas369]

Jill, have you heard any news via the grapevine recently that you will be able to obtain these made of SS?

[@suefraser3611]

Do you happen to have a tutorial for the bracelet? It looks really nice.

[@AprilBird4]

Ditto! I've actually seen that pattern before and have an 'idea' of how it is done, but I LOVE those colors. I'd buy that kit w/pattern in a heartbeat.

[@artinewaskar7027]

I think that is Herringbone with superduos

[@eponymousIme]

Jill posted a video for it (yay!) in May 2019: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioqxp5KagJZ6fq8

[@le12ification]

hello there. Any chance you can direct me to the eye wear you use to see those tiny beads? I would greatly appreciate it.

[@maryannneuroth8050]

Do you have a video for the super duo bracelet in your video? Cool clasp. Want it in sterling.

[@maugoshia2856]

Mary Ann Neuroth ha! Same question here! 😄

[@TH-dj3zo]

same question also what color are those beads

[@annajeangaissert]

Same question 😄

[@amydavis4945]

Mary Ann Neuroth It looks very much like the Tutorial by Beadaholique titled "How to do Herringbone with Two-Hole beads". I've made several of these same bracelets from that tutorial so I really don't know if Jill, or anyone else, has also done similar ones. Hope this helps!

[@pamelabelmore5607]

I just put each vertical ring in the row instead of a bead and reinforce 3 to 4 times.
