String, rope, and clasps for keychain, jewelry, and beadable project finishing. Curated for strength, consistency, and compatibility with our bead collections.
What are string, rope, and clasps used for in crafting?
This collection covers the cording and closures behind bracelets, necklaces, keychain lanyards, and macramé-style projects — the structural layer every strung design depends on.
How do I choose between rope, cord, and thread?
Thickness follows the bead hole and the look: chunky rope for statement pieces and lanyards, fine cord for delicate strands. Our sizing guide pairs materials with hole diameters.
What clasps work best for handmade jewelry?
Lobster clasps are the everyday standard; breakaway clasps add a safety release for lanyards and badge holders. Match clasp weight to the piece so light designs aren't overpowered.
