Ooh, look what I just ordered! This clasp appears to have little cups to slide the end pearls right up on, instead of using the dreaded gimp. I hope it works!
Did I mention that I hate gimp?
I try to have my pearl strands strung with PowerPro, which is fishing line. It is plastic so it won't get nasty. And it has very tight knots to when and if the weight from wearing the strand pulls the knots tighter, it doesn't "stretch" and need restringing.
So, the reason I have to bother with restringing has always been because of the gimp only. The gold plating wears off and it looks black and gross. It annoys me to no end.
If this clasp works as it looks like it will (?) I will probably change each strand over to something like it, at its next restringing. And then, hopefully, I just won't have to bother with any more re-stringings.
Right? Someone please tell me I am right. (Or not).
