page.
Tigertail
Easy to use, no needle required, the medium gauge (included in all kits) will fit through most beads. Can be brittle, has a tendency to kink if bent, and may not "drape" with very lightweight beads. Tigertail cannot be knotted and a small pair if needlenose or chainnose pliers is need to "crimp" the clasp onto the wire.
Clasps
Each kit has a different clasp and it's mostly a choice of personal preference. All are available in goldtone or silvertone. Barrel clasps are difficult to open and close with one hand so are not ideal for bracelets. Pearl clasps are very secure and attractive with most beads. Spring rings and lobster clasps can be used with one hand (with practice), so are the better choice for bracelets.
Beads
Kits are available with, or without, 20 small round goldtone or silvertone beads. These are useful if you have lost a few beads from your original piece and need some "fillers", or need to add some beads to lengthen the finished item.
