BSI – 50 Pcs Populer Lobster Clasps 12mm ~ Jewelry Making Findings ~ (Gold Plated)
Description
This item is for 50pcs of these shiny gold plated lobster craw clasps. Size
are 12mmx7mm, with 2mm connector, can be link to chains or jump rings. The
lobster clasp, also called a trigger clasp or lobster claw clasp, is the most
common clasp seen on necklaces and other jewelry that fastens around the body.
Aptly named, the lobster clasp resembles a lobsters claw. It is also similar
in appearance and operation to a grappling hook or carabineer. The lobster
clasp has two protrusions, one usually slightly larger than the other,
attached to a small, flat end, which houses an opening and closing mechanism.
The clasp is attached to one end of a chain, rope, or other material and the
protrusions of the lobster clasp fit through a small ring attached at the
other end of the object and close around it, fastening the two ends together.
Lobster clasps come in various sizes and most jewelers agree that the larger
the clasp, the easier its use. The size of the clasp used often depends on the
size and weight of the jewelry. There are also various styles of the lobster
clasp. Some require the user to pull down on a small trigger attached to the
side of the clasp while others will open if pressure is applied with the
opposing ring. The lobster clasp is perhaps the most commonly used fastener
for jewelry because it locks well. As opposed to barrel clasps, which are
barrel-shaped clasps with threads that screw together to fasten, the lobster
clasp is a more secure clasp. The lobster clasp also works well for adjustable
necklaces that have a chain of several small rings attached to one end,
because the lobster clasp can attach to any of the rings, allowing the
necklace to be worn either shorter or longer. Barrel clasps do not provide the
same flexibility.
