OUR
AMAZING NEW SLIP GRIPS
For
as long as we have been making pendants, we have been providing
adjustable cords. People have appreciated the flexibility
of wearing their piece either long or short.
The
hand-tied slip knots, however, have not always been easy and,
over the years, we have found knot-tying to be brutal on our
fingers. There have been other worries as well. If the knots
are too tight, they do not slide. If they are too loose, they
come undone. Over time the ends of the cord begin to fray
and look grubby. For years we have tried to find an alternative
to hand-tied knots but nothing better existed. Until now.
We
have developed our own unique slip grip. This is a simple,
yet amazingly precise and useful, piece of equipment that,
for now, is only available on Metal Ice pendants.
It
cleanly encloses the end of the cord so there is no fraying.
The grip is durable enough that the cord can be re-sized endlessly
but, for safety reasons, has been designed to break apart
at 25 pounds pressure. It contains no metal, is non-allergenic
and slides smoothly as the cord ages.
Developing
this device has taken an incredible amount of time and money
but we can finally say the whole process of invention has
been a success. We are proud to assemble our new pendants
with the Metal Ice Slip Grips. Enjoy them.
