Lobster Clasps

A lobster clasp, also known as a lobster hook clasp, is a lobster-claw-shaped fastener that is held closed by a spring. Lobster clasps are a popular type of clasp that works especially well when you are trying to create a necklace or bracelet design that you want to be adjustable -- use an extender chain. While a simple lobster clasp may have a strictly utilitarian use in Jewelry Design, there are way more interesting ways to use them today. For example, consider using a larger Lobster Clasp as a Purse Charm -- Dangle Beads or Charms from the Bottom where a Strand of Beads would normally attach!
