What is the piece that attaches the string to the clasp called? Im making necklaces but dont have this piece so I cant attach the clasps but I do't know what it is called! Not the jump ring, but the piece that is attached to the string. Other variations are alright, just not crimp beads. Thanks!

Calottes (also known as Clamshell Crimps, Bead Tips, Knot Cups and Necklace Ends) combined with beading string and jewelry making wire to give a professional touch to your hand made beaded jewelry.
They are metal, part of your jewelry making findings and cover the knot or crimp bead at the end of a beaded strand.
Calottes, bead tips have a hole at the base of the two halves this allows the thread to go through.

I have similar ones, they are called clam shell clasps. They hold fabric and such just like yours do, just a different shape.
Also called connector end clamp, also called a cord tip. Depends on which site or what store you are using.
they also make them long and slender for ribbon ends. Fire mountain has a good selection of findings.
