Make 9 Modern Jewelry Designs Using TierraCast Metal Rings And Connectors 

We are just in love with the rings from TierraCast. You are going to love this stunning TierraCast connector. The hammered finish of this ring connector is gorgeous enough to be the star of your jewelry designs, yet subtle enough to let the other elements shine. Great size to embellish with seed beads and wire wrapping. It can also be filled with resin and pictures, beads and found objects to create a story ring. Looks great with other distressed components!

Go big - a 25mm connector is great for large flair and catching the eye. A 13mm connector for a slightly more subtle look or a smaller design. Or go for the quiet beauty of an 8.6mm connector, this stunning connector will not call attention to itself but will enhance any jewelry design. Whatever size you opt for in your next necklace, you will love the textured detail.

If you love the look of weathered metal, make sure you check out our similar items. You will adore our antiqued Anna's Clasps and Capitol Cord Ends. If you want a textured look, check out our Hammered Cones and Maker's Clasps.

This TierraCast connector is made in the USA.
