Jewelry Clasps — Your Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a jewelry clasp and what does it do?

A jewelry clasp is a fastening device used to secure necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. It keeps your jewelry in place while allowing you to put it on and take it off easily.

What types of jewelry clasps are there?

Common types include lobster clasps, spring ring clasps, toggle clasps, magnetic clasps, box clasps, and barrel clasps. Each offers different levels of security and ease of use. We sell a new patent pending clasp that simply twists and locks into place.

Are gold-plated clasps durable?

Gold-plated clasps are a great affordable alternative to solid gold. With proper care — avoiding moisture and harsh chemicals — they can maintain their finish for a long time.

How do I choose the right clasp for my jewelry?

Consider the weight of the piece, ease of use (especially for those with limited dexterity), and the style. Heavier necklaces need sturdier clasps like lobster or box clasps.

Can I replace a broken jewelry clasp myself?

Yes! With basic jewelry tools like pliers and jump rings, most clasps can be replaced at home. Many jewelers also offer this as a quick, inexpensive repair.

Are your clasps nickel-free or hypoallergenic?

Yes, our products are both nickel free and hypoallergenic. Our commitment is to not only create an effortless alternative, but a safe one as well.
