The fob has a Leverback closure which is round in shape, so they fit more easily with many shapes and sizes of scissor handles. The Leverback back is finer than a lobster clasp. These will fit most scissor handle sizes and do not add bulk within the handle which could reduce finger space. They are also easy to remove if you want to change your fob.
Can also be used as a key ring, bag/purse charm, or phone charm.
The fob is created by creating links to several different charms and beads (with a common theme) which are in turn added to open rings which form a linked chain. This method takes a fair bit more time to make as each charm and bead is attached to wires to create the hoops in order to attach the beads and charms to the chain. The chain is created as each charm/bead is attached to the rings. However this creates a stunning fob which is a ‘fluid’ chain in that it moves quite freely which I find really works well as a scissor fob as it tends to move easily while you are using the scissors and seem to sit comfortably in your hand. We also sell the embroidery scissors to complement your fobs.
Each chain has the same beads and charms on them; HOWEVER, each fob will be different in that the charms and beads are NOT placed identically on each chain. This makes each fob unique and ‘one off’ so to speak. When creating these fobs, I make a small number in the range, and these will NOT be repeated as I use limited and one-off beads in the fob so they cannot be repeated exactly.
The price reflects the amount of time and materials that go into creating each scissor fob compared to the other ranges such as threaded beads onto beading wire or using 2-3 handmade beaded section links to an end charm. These fobs are truly a work of art and pure luxury which would turn any plain scissors into something different and precious. You will never misplace your scissors with these fobs attached.
Due to being handmade there may be a slight difference in length and finished appearance. Finished size is approximately 4” long from end of charm to base of clasp. I have endeavoured to photograph the scissor fobs to best represent their colours, but please be aware that colours will vary from monitor to monitor.
