    Default 14mm 925 Sterling Silver ribbon clamp wanted

    Hi all, been trying to source the above item but so far the largest one of my supplies can manage is 10mm. Must be solid silver, not plated. If anyone knows of where I can get this etc, I'd be extremely grateful! Thank you kindly x

    I apologize should have been more diligent, would be that difficult to make.

    The wonders of the internet will often fail you if looking for something specialised.

    Making them yourself would be more tedious, but doable if it is only a few pairs. You need to take the thickness of the ribbon into account, and make sure that the teeth are alternating, so as to close neatly.

    My remedy is to draw it to scale on squared paper, reduce it to the required size on my copier and then use it as a stick on label for piercing.
    For better symmetry they can be made in a double length strip and cut in half after scoring and bending. Dennis.

    Thank you both of you for taking the time to help me. Dennis, that's great advice - I think I need to invest in some extra kit, or teach myself to cast or something! Will investigate doing it how you've advised, thank youx
