Anchor and Hook Style Clasps
Anchor & Hook Style Clasps
Sun Enterprises' wholesale Anchor and Hook Style Clasps are decorative closure components for leather cord bracelets and necklaces. Unlike magnetic clasps which close invisibly, anchor and hook clasps are visible by design — they become a feature of the finished piece rather than disappearing into it.
Anchor clasps are shaped with an anchor or T-bar element that slides through a ring or loop to close, giving a nautical or maritime design character popular in men's jewellery and unisex collections. Hook clasps use a curved hook element that feeds into a fixed eye or ring, offering a clean, artisan-style closure. Both types are available in stainless steel and zamak across multiple finishes.
Clasp Types
- Anchor clasps — anchor or T-bar shaped closure that passes through a ring at the opposite cord end; a signature design element for nautical-themed leather jewellery
- Hook clasps — curved hook that feeds into a fixed ring or eye; simple, artisan-style closure suitable for thicker cord designs
Materials: Stainless steel (tarnish-free, rust-resistant) and zamak (decorative finishes including antique bronze, antique silver, antique gold).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an anchor clasp and a hook clasp?
An anchor clasp uses an anchor or T-bar shaped element that passes through a fixed ring at the opposite end of the bracelet, securing it in a cross-lock position. A hook clasp uses a simple curved hook that feeds into an eye or ring. Anchor clasps tend to appear in more themed, design-led pieces; hook clasps have a more general artisan appeal.
Do anchor and hook clasps require end caps?
Yes. Most anchor and hook clasps connect to the cord end via a jump ring, which means the cord end needs to be finished with an appropriate end cap first. Browse our end caps for round leather, flat leather, or regaliz leather depending on your cord type.
What cord types are compatible with anchor and hook clasps?
Anchor and hook clasps connect to the cord via a jump ring and end cap, so they are compatible with any leather cord type — round, flat, or regaliz — as long as you select the correct end cap for your cord profile.
