Jewellery Clasps for Necklaces & Bracelets

Find clasps for finishing handmade necklaces and bracelets, including lobster claw and spring ring styles. Choose a fastening that complements your chain, beadwork and overall design, comparing its proportions with the components beside it.

Check the complete dimensions and attachment details rather than choosing by the main size alone. The lobster examples include approximately 10 × 6mm and 12 × 7mm designs, while round clasps use different measurements. The overall clasp size does not necessarily identify the opening or the size of a connecting loop.

Compare the base material, finish and supplied quantity on the individual listing. Examples include shiny and matte gold-plated brass designs, but plating specifications vary. Gold-plated describes a surface finish, not solid gold. Pack examples include five or ten clasps, while other products are supplied individually.

Plan suitable jump rings, end fittings and any extender separately, checking that they fit both the clasp and your chain or stringing material. Allow for the fastening when calculating the finished jewellery length. Follow the selected product's closing and care guidance and test the completed assembly before wearing it. A clasp's appearance alone does not establish its suitability for every design or load.
