    Have any of you made the foldover chain from Jean Stark's book,
    Classical Loop-in-Loop Chains? I need some help with the clasp.
    (Randy Smith posted a photograph at

    but the clasp is not visible.) 

    The clasp is a link like the others, just a little longer. There is
    a drawing of the clasp link and the instruction, "Adjust the clasp
    link until there is tension when the clasp is inserted into the loop
    of the last link." 

    I am not sure what kind of adjustment is needed to keep the bracelet
    from falling off. Can somebody provide a description or drawing of
    how it works? 

Thanks,
Janet
