Because leather cord is relatively thick compared to threads, the options for finishing it are somewhat different. You can tie knots in the leather as part of your design, and sliding knots can be used to form adjustable length jewelry.

For designs where you desire a clasp instead of knots, there are several other options for finishing leather. We sell extra large sterling silver crimps that can be used to crimp leather just as you would any other stringing material. You can also use special leather crimps that have a loop at the end that can be fastened to any clasp using a split ring. Another interesting way to finish leather cord is by threading it through a clasp or loop and wrapping the doubled-over end tightly with wire, using the wire to "crimp" it together.
