My past post on how to use fishing knots for jewelry making was a hit. Many jewelry designs are based on cords so finding a good knot especially for jewelry clasp ends is a good thing. We want the knots to look good and also to hold firmly. Glue would not be necessary. Think about it - fishermen do not use glue on knots and yet they are firm enough to take the weight when a fish is caught.
The first pictorial from that past post showed a modified grinner (or uni or universal) knot. I like that one because the cord is doubled through the hole of the clasp. But there are apparently more than one way to make a grinner knot! Here are two which I found helpful.
