Finally, let’s form a hook for your bracelet clasps.

Make a S-curve on a 18-gauge copper wire using the small and large diameter of a stepped bail-making pliers (fig. 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d).

Then, trim off the excess wire using a wire cutter (fig. 14e, 14f).

Curl the end of the larger hook with a round nose pliers (fig. 14g, 14h).

After that, flatten the S-hook with a hammer and a base metal plate (fig. 14i, 14j).
