There are different types of bracelet clasps available in the market, such as precious metal plated variety sterling silver, silver, gold, rhodium, copper and nickel.
The clasps are the most important components of the jewelry. It is these clasps that enable the wearer to put on or take off jewelry. If you have designed a stunning piece of jewelry that is difficult to wear by putting on and taking off, it won't go down well with your customers. Especially, when you design bracelets, you have to consider the fact that the wearer will just have one hand to wear the jewelry. So, you should pay close attention to the type of bracelet clasps you use in such jewelry. Modern day clasps are so versatile and they actually serve as an integral part of your jewelry design. You should choose a clasp that matches the quality of the other supplies you have used in the jewelry.
Lobster claw clasp
The lobster claw clasp is widely used in bracelets because of the ease of use. It works by spring mechanism. The clasp opens when you push the lever after which you can insert the ring found on the other side of the jewelry. Once the clasp is closed, the jewelry is secured.
Magnetic clasp
Magnetic clasps are usually cylindrical where one smaller piece fits inside a larger piece and it works only with magnets. This makes magnetic clasp incredibly easy to wear and it is ideally suited for bracelets. Now, you can find magnetic clasps in various shapes, adding more beauty to the jewelry. However, these bracelet clasps are not suitable for heavy weight jewelry.
Toggle clasp
Toggle clasp consists of a ring on one side and a bar on the other side. The bar is usually attached to the center of the jewelry so that it can be threaded through the large ring. When bar is released to remove the jewelry, it lays flat. This is also an ideal clasp for bracelets as it can be easily used with just one hand. Now, you can find toggle clasps with ornate decorations for adding style to the jewelry.
Swivel clasp
The swivel clasps are much like a lobster claw clasp, but the clasp can make a full 360 degree at the bottom. This is one of the modern versions of clasps and it is ideally suited in trendy jewelry.
Box clasp
If you want a clasp that is part of the jewelry design, then a box clasp is an ideal choice. The box part can be in the shape of a charm and a springy V shaped metal slides into the box to secure the bracelet. To remove the bracelet, you simply have to squeeze V shaped metal so that it slides out. Again, this type of clasp is highly suited for lightweight jewelry, but it is less commonly used as it doesn’t secure the jewelry very firmly.
S Hook clasp
The S Hook clasp is one of the most common bracelet clasps. The ring or the eye on one side of the jewelry can be slid into the closed hook on either side of the S-hook clasp. It is inexpensive to buy such clasps wholesale.
There are many more different types of clasps suitable for different types of jewelry. You should always choose a clasp depending on the type of jewelry and comfort of the wearer.
