In summary

End caps for ball chains offer an elegant alternative to conventional clasps for your chain jewelry. Easy to use, they attach simply by inserting the chain and closing the ferrule before adding the clasp. For best results, use a bronze ferrule with matching ball chain and flat-nose pliers to avoid damaging the elements.

Step-by-step instructions to mount ball chains terminators.

Material and advice:

Step 3

Close the ball chain tip with pliers.
Crush bead pliers are fine, otherwise you can use flat-tip or nylon pliers, but be careful not to flatten the tip.

ce type d'embout peut-il être utilisé pour d'autres chaines, notamment les très fines qui ne peuvent pas être finies par des anneaux ouverts ?

Bonjour, non dans ce cas il faudra utiliser des pinces à lacets ex : https://www.perlesandco.com/Pince-lacet-1-mm-dore-x20-p-82342.html
