Different Types Of Jewelry Clasps

 Jewel Clasps are simple in appearance, but they provide the jewel a sophisticated appearance and feel, as well as increasing its longevity. Despite being the underrated jewelry finding, clasps are used for almost every jewelry item. They exist in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials and are used in necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. 


Jewelry Clasps are more than the mechanism to secure two ends of jewelry pieces. Clasps can enhance the look of the jewelry. This is why finding the right clasp for your design is very important.


In this article, we will talk about the different types of metal Clasps.


What Are The Different Types Of Jewelry Clasps?


  1. Lobster Clasp

The lobster clasp is named from its similarity to a lobster claw. It is widely available and multipurpose. It has a push-button mechanism that closes when the lever is released. Lobster clasps are utilized in practically every jewelry category due to their versatility. Thin clasps are used on little chains, while thick clasps are utilized on large, thick chains. Lobster clasps are one of the gold chain clasp types.


  1. Spring Clasp

Spring clasps are inexpensive and commonly used on small chains with light pendants. This has a self-closing mechanism and a lever with one end attached to a spring and the other end attached to a circle, similar to the lobster.


  1. Magnetic Clasp

Another versatile clasp, this one uses magnets to secure jewelry pieces, as the name implies. These are frequently used in bracelets because they serve to offer enough attraction to be removed with minimal exertion. Amongst the different types of jewelry clasps, Magnetic Clasps offers such appeal to teenagers.


  1. Hook Clasp

An effortless hook-on, hook-off motion is used with a hook clasp. The bottom of the hook has a curved portion that catches on a loop or circle and holds it in place.


The hook clasp has three types:

  1. S-Hook Clasp

Shaped like the letter "S" or a double-sided hook, its ease of use is its pro. They are used in adjustable jewelry like a chain and in jewelry with multi-strands. 


  1. Fish Hook Clasp

Stylish but unpopular, this has a hook on one end and a box. Although expensive, they look like a pearl necklace clasp and are secured. Fishhook clasps are one of the earring clasp types since they can be used to make certain earrings.


  1. Hook and Eye Clasp

Best used for heavier necklaces and bracelets, the hook and eye clasp is a very simple design consisting of a hook on one side and an eye (an opening to which the hook latches) on the other. 


5. Box Clasp

Popular for bracelets, but also suitable for chains, box clasp is also one of the very basic designs of the clasps. Box clasps are used for thick gold jewelry because they are wider than standard clasps. Although they are not suitable for all types, box clasps are safe and simple to use. 


6. Toggle Clasps

Simple to locate, Toggle clasps are made up of a rod and a circle. All that is required to secure the chain is to slip the rod into the circle. They are decorative and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Toggle clasps are commonly used to secure bracelets and anklets, but jewelry designers also use them to create necklaces.
