The process of making jewelry is quite fascinating, but it requires perseverance, skill, imagination, experience, as well as the ability to choose the right material. Beads, stones, rhinestones, pearls - the variety is quite large, it remains only to combine them using a variety of devices (accessories). The main thing here is to choose the right accessories that would successfully combine with the general appearance of the decoration. In the process of selecting parts, many meet with various previously unknown concepts, and, for example, ask themselves the question, connectors for jewelry - what is it?
Connectors: Usage Details
Connectors for jewelry are some inserts and parts that are used in the process of creating earrings, bracelets, pendants. The main difference between the connectors is the presence of two or more loops, for which beads and other parts are subsequently attached. If there is only one ear - this will be a suspension. The upper number of ears is unlimited. In addition, jewelery connectors can be one large element having a large hole to which not one part but several is attached. Whatever form this element has, the presence of ears will always help to interpret it. Ears are not the only distinguishing features of connectors. Holes that are not noticeable at first glance are also inherent in them.
How to use the "combiners"
Connectors for jewelry are also called decorative metal elements with eyelets. Quite often they are used as adapters from a fastener to a bead, from a shvenza to a row of pendants from beads or, again, to a row of beads.

Beginning needlewomen can not immediately understand the whole terminology of craftsmanship, so the question is, connectors for jewelry: how to use it, it arises quite often. And everything is explained very easily if you know English. In the process of familiarizing themselves with the terminology of mastery, many begin to call jewelry connectors “unifiers,” where the term speaks for itself: it is used in the process of combining several details.
During the performance of their basic functions, connectors for jewelry combine multilevel elements, give the item completeness, thereby can turn ordinary beads into a unique romantic jewelry. Such an element will help to give jewelry a certain style, for example, ethnic or Gothic, when it is not possible to use the perfect fittings. Very often, the connector serves as the central element of the decoration or its basis. The variety of these parts and the functions performed by them is wide enough, which contributes to their use.
Connector classification
Four categories are distinguished depending on the color: silver (both dark and light), gold, copper, antique bronze. Before purchasing a product, you always need to clarify the composition, as very often the color does not match the material. To select different elements, it is important to remember one rule: fittings should be acquired in the same color. You can give an example: when using a copper lock, using a silver separator is not very appropriate. The right decision will focus on the color of the main material when selecting fittings.
Depending on personal preferences, there is a choice of openwork, solid, flat or voluminous connectors. When choosing them, the expected style of the future decoration is always taken into account.
