Teardrop Lobster Clasp

This sterling silver lobster clasp features a teardrop shape with ridges at its base and a built-in fixed ring; the clasp has a bright finish that complements bead strands or fabricated necklace or bracelet designs made with silver components and chain. Complete the clasp with a plain or fancy ring on the opposite of the strand. 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.
