@beadworld: The most frustrating feeling in jewelry making: lifting up your finished necklace only to see a bunch of bare stringing material laughing back at you near the clasp 😭 Here’s 3 ways to avoid those awkward gaps in your next beaded jewelry piece ⤵️ 1. Crimp in a Curve Stringing flat hides micro-slack that gravity pulls down the second you pick it up. The U-shape gives the beads the exact amount of pocket-room they need to sit flawlessly on the neck without exposing the wire. 1. The Crimp Slip Even a microscopic slip when you close your crimp bead gives the whole strand enough room to slide down and expose bare wire. This is why you need to keep a steady pressure on that final bead! 1. Gravity Check Pick up your strand and let it hang before you crimp. This lets gravity pull down all the hidden slack so you can lock it out for good!

Argh. I have this problem often. It seems tight and right and snug until I hold a necklace vertically and then the darn gap shows up. So frustrating….
