Default Advice on finishing necklaces..

Hi

Just a query about finishing an illusion style necklace. Is there any
advantage/disadvantage to using a parrot clasp and jump ring, or a parrot
clasp and one of those flat little necklace tags with the two holes in them?
Or is it just personal preference?

Thank you

Audrey

What is a "parrot clasp"? I've never heard that term before.

Ahh, lobster clasp is the name - I think parrot clasp is maybe a slightly
different shape, but the theory is the same...scroll down on this link to
see a pic...
