What is the purpose of the antique silver finish?
The antique silver finish provides a classic and versatile aesthetic that complements many colors and styles of fabric and garments.

Troubleshooting
Cord stop slips on the cord
Ensure the cord stop is firmly crimped onto the cord. Use pliers for a more secure attachment, especially with thicker cords or smoother cord materials. If the cord itself is very smooth, consider a cord with more texture.
Difficulty threading the cord
Ensure the cord is not frayed. You may need to lightly twist the end of the cord or use a needle to guide it through the hole.
Cord stop falls off after washing
Re-crimp the cord stop with pliers to ensure a tighter fit on the cord. If the cord has become worn, it might be time to replace both the cord and the cord stop.
