SilverSilk’s end caps are crimp ends that are designed especially for capture
knit. Each end cap has a channel that fits around the ball chain in the
capture, and ridges inside the channel hold the ball chain securely in place.
Insert the end of the capture or leather into the end cap. Use nylon jaw or
coated pliers to close. No glue necessary!
String it!
Braid it!
Loop it!
Knot It! Embellish It!
About SilverSilk™
Welcome to a totally new way of using wire in jewelry. Beautiful, strong and supple, SilverSilk™ is a jewelry (r)evolution. Knitted from wires of 99.9% pure
enameled copper that are nearly as thin as a human hair, SilverSilk™ is lightweight, incredibly durable, can be cut without fraying, and is supple to the touch.
The unique elasticity of the knit lends a luxurious, free-flowing feel to each strand of SilverSilk™, while the permanently enameled, non-tarnishing copper
ensures a long-lasting, beautiful finish – joining the strength and beauty of metal with the fabulous feeling of knit. SilverSilk™ is machine stitched to perfection,
cuts easily with wire cutters, holds its shape and will take your jewelry designs to the next level. And now, our patented one-of-a-kind knitted wire, eight years
in the making, is yours for the taking.
Use wire cutters to cut all of SilverSilk’s knitted products. When cutting capture knit make a mark where you will make the cut then, using round nose pliers,
gently crimp between two beads on the ball chain on either side of the the mark. Cut on the mark.
All that is necessary to clean SilverSilk is a clean damp cloth. It should never be cleaned with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
