There are different models, and often, they even bring a modern touch to the piece, so it is important for you, the reseller, to know a little more about each of them, write it down:
Buoy
This is a traditional clasp in the semi-jewelry market. As the name implies, it is round like an inflatable buoy and has a spring that activates when pressing the trigger to release the lock. We see it a lot in necklaces and even bracelets. The buoy clasp is widely used in small link semi-jewelry, as it can attach to any ring and ensure a perfect fit. The most daring ones love to hang pendants too!
Lobster
I bet you have several semi-jewels with this clasp at your reseller and you didn't even know the name of it, right? The lobster clasp is widely used in semi-jewelry because it is safe and resistant. The name, on the other hand, comes from the similarity with a lobster's claw: one side long and curved and the other smaller and straight, which retracts when you pull the trigger.
Drawer
Do you know what the drawer clasp is? You bet, it's one of the safest! Composed of two parts that fit and lock, it is necessary to pull a trigger to release. This type of clasp is more common on bracelets and men's pieces.
Lockable
Discreet and super elegant, this type of clasp is used on bracelets. To ensure safety, it consists of two parts that fit together, and thus prevent the bracelet from coming loose.
Carabiner/English
These two terms are known for this clasp that is very similar to the lobster claw. Not to confuse you, the difference is in the shape! The carabiner/English is more closed and straight. We see this type of clasp a lot on chains and bracelets with straight links.
Now that you know about the different types of fasteners, it's easier to explain to your client, right? Be prepared for excellent service. Knowledge is never too much!
