There are two important benefits. Bead tips cover and protect the knot at the end of the necklace — providing a nice professional appearance. And they secure the necklace, so that if the clasp breaks you can remove it from the bead tip and attach a new one. Without the bead tip, the entire necklace might have to be re-strung if there was only a knot around the clasp.
