Abstract
Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a cap for beaded jewelry, wherein the cap grips around the jewelry without requiring an adhesive or holes to be drilled in the jewelry and provides a mechanism for the jewelry to be attached to a chain. The cap may include a hollow tube configured to accommodate a section of a piece of jewelry and a bezel wire comprising bezel wire prongs attached to a surface of the hollow tube proximate to a tube opening such that the bezel wire prongs extend past the tube opening and away from the top plate, wherein the bezel wire prongs are configured to crimp around the beads of the jewelry, securing the cap to the jewelry. The hollow tube may have a loop extending therefrom allowing the cap to be connected to a jewelry chain or adjacent cap.
