We recently added a bunch of new toggles (mostly sterling silver) to our findings page. Knowing that sometimes it can be difficult to know what toggle will compliment your project, we have compiled some suggestions for each of these new beautiful finishing touches below. We hope you find these tips useful and encourage you to share how you use these new toggles by leaving a comment or posting a photo of your piece to our page on Facebook!
Sterling Silver Flower Toggle
This toggle is small enough to compliment thinner weaves and really compliments Japanese weaves as it mimics the visible full circles seen in the weave. Rebeca recommends using it for with Japanese weaves that aren’t too wide such as our Japanese Flower Bracelet or the Mini Lace or 2-row Japanese Lace variations of our Japanese Lace project (supply lists for these variations are available on at the bottom of the project page.)
Golden Sun Toggle
This toggle makes a statement and might work best as a feature on an otherwise simple piece. The mixed finish compliments pieces that combine Sterling Silver and Gold-filled rings like the Helm Wave variation on pg 103 of CHAINED.
Sterling Sliver Woven Hexagon Toggle
This toggle is very subtle and especially complimentary to any piece that has angled edges such as Zig Zag Lancelot. Rebeca also suggests using it to finish möbiused pieces such as Möbiused Rosettes since the toggle looks like two intertwined shapes.
Nordic Sterling Silver Toggle
This toggle is substantial and needs a hefty weave to hang on to it. Try using it with a cuff like Dragonscale or possibly an elf sheet.
Sterling Silver Scallop Toggle
This toggle is large but quite light and compliments many weaves. Because of its size and weight, it works well to finish necklaces in a fancy way without putting too much weight on the neck or spinning the piece around.
Sunflower Sterling Silver Toggle
This is another great toggle for finishing pieces that have angled edges. Rebeca recommends using it to finish Zig Zag Byzantine, Zig Zag Lancelot or a Staggered Japanese Lace piece.
Bronze Squiggle Toggle
This toggle is a lovely way to finish any piece made with bronze rings, especially spiral pieces or pieces between about 1/2″ and 1″ wide (1.25 cm – 2.5 cm). Try it with Helm Wave, Euro 4-in-1 or Double Spiral.
Sunburst Sterling Silver Toggle
This toggle looks great with many weaves but is especially complimentary to coiled projects since its grooves mimic the coils. We really love it with our Coiled Bracelet and Coiled Crystals projects.
I’ve been looking for a toggle for my euro 6-1 on the bias bracelet. The bronze one would go great with the brown, royal purple, dark rose and rose gold anodized niobium colors.
