Another great innovation from Cymbal Elements in Greece. The KALAMOS III for Gemduos, Diamonduos and many other beads provides a connection to a clasp with a closed loop. Though made specifically for Gemduos, I have found the Kalamos can work with dozens of other beads. Experiment! You get a nice clean ending with no multiple stitching into a clasp or jump ring and hiding the thread path with seed beads.
The loop is large enough to use with a medium size lobster clasp (10 to 15mm) or a hook and eye clasp. Or use a jump ring to connect to a single strand clasp.
The KALAMOS looks fabulous as an earring component but also when attaching to a focal clasp. It has a nice design element to it.
