14K Yellow Gold Diamond-Set Filigree Round Safety Clasp, 2-Strand

This 14-karat gold round safety clasp features a delicate open filigree design adorned with a single round 0.01-ct. accent diamond (SI3-I1 clarity, G-H color; 0.01CTTW) set in 14-karat white gold on the front. The closure accommodates two-strand designs; it can be worn at the back of the neck or in front. Safety clasps (also called pearl clasps) feature two parts that connect in two different ways, providing a fail-safe that helps prevent loss of higher-value necklaces or strands and are ideal for pearl and gemstone strands. The interior part of the clasp is a slender hook with notches along the outer edge; the exterior part is hollow except for a locking bar. The interior part hooks over the locking bar and then slides inside the exterior part, the notches catching along the inner sides to hold the clasp securely closed. Even if the notches fail for any reason, the hook keeps the strand in place.
