2 x Cord caps, Stainless steel, 3 x 8mm

In jewelry making, stainless steel cord caps (also called end caps or cord ends) are used to finish off the ends of cords, ropes, or leather strands neatly and securely.

Purpose of Stainless Steel Cord Caps

1. Finish cord ends neatly They cover and protect the cut end of leather, silk, satin, hemp, or cotton cord so it doesn't fray.

2. Provide attachment points Most cord caps have a loop, ring, or hole at the top, allowing you to attach a clasp, jump ring, or chain extender.

3. Strength & durability Since they're made of stainless steel, they're tarnish-resistant, rustproof, and strong enough for everyday wear.

4. Polished professional look They give the jewelry a clean, elegant finish that looks more refined than just tying a knot.

 Common Uses in Jewelry

• Leather cord necklaces/bracelets Insert the cord into the cap and glue or crimp it in place, then attach a clasp.

• Multi-strand designs Several thin cords or threads can be gathered into one cap to keep them together.

• Rope jewelry Secure thicker ropes or woven cords neatly.

• Beaded cords Finish knotted or braided strands with a metal end for durability.

 In short: Stainless steel cord caps are used to finish cord-based jewelry (like leather or fabric necklaces/bracelets) by hiding raw ends and providing a strong loop for clasps or connectors.
