Brass 12 x Teardrop Lobster Clasp with Closed Ring

This brass lobster clasp features a teardrop shape and an open attach ring. Pair the clasp with a plain or fancy ring on the opposite side of the strand to secure the necklace or bracelet. One of the most common clasp styles, the lobster clasp offers a streamlined look and good security for all types of strands. Named for its resemblance to the action of a lobster claw, this clasp features a hook shape with a spring-operated closure. Simply press the ring at the opposite end of the strand against the closure, pushing it open enough to let the ring pass onto the hook (or press the release lever to open the closure). The spring holds the clasp closed until the lever pulls it open to release the ring. This clasp is plated with fine silver to ensure a bright white color and to help protect against tarnish.
