Different types of Clasps:

There are a plethora of clasps that can be used for completing your jewellery pieces.  In this blog we will outline some of the most popular styles to offer an opportunity for inspiration. Clasps can have a big impact on the aesthetic of your jewellery, so you need to choose one that you think goes best with the overall impression you wish to achieve.

Lobster Clasp:

The lobster clasp is a very popular, widely used type of clasp as it is secure and also provides a minimal finish to your jewellery piece.

Magnetic Clasp:

These clasps are made by using two pieces, each with a magnet in it to then snap together, and hold the jewellery together securely. They can come in many different colours, sizes and shapes, perfect for leather bracelets, silk or leather necklaces and many more things! The different finishes the magnetic clasps can have can really transform your jewellery piece. For example, for a modern look, you could choose black or steel in matt finishes. For a classic look, black or steel in a shiny finish will work perfectly. For a vintage feel, why not opt for an antique finish to the lock?

S-hook clasp:

S-hook clasps are one of the most traditional types of clasp in the world of jewellery-making. It operates by sliding a loop through the open end of the S-hook, all the way to the clasp. These can be made to be minimalist or quite decadent, so it depends on the overall finish you would like for your jewellery.

Barrel Clasp:

Barrel clasps are cylindrical in shape and are fastened by screwing the two components together. The most typical finishes come in gold and silver, and can vary in size from very small to larger versions. These clasps are optimal only for necklaces as they require two hands to fasten, and are a little fiddly.
