Hey everyone. I only recently started acquiring higher grade pearl necklaces, but before the pearls themselves I would always notice the clasp. I fell in love with the yellow gold filligree style clasp that Mikimoto used on their Sea Magic line and I’m now trying to hunt down a few for my collection and to tool with. I’m currently in talks to encrust one of these beautiful clasps in high quality vivid and fluorescent rubies(though admittedly I’d like to acquire another untouched one before altering my only one). This had me thinking that I must not be the only one who has a passion for certain clasps the same way we do for the pearls themselves, and I was curious what styles or types the majority of this forum prefers to either use on their strands or to just look at! There have been a number of over the top vintage clasps that have really caught my attention, and surely I’ve only seen a small percentage of what’s out there. I couldn't find a similar thread so I suppose this may be the first time it was asked, but what is your personal favourite clasp? Do you prefer something simple like a magnetic ball clasp or would you rather an intricate bejewelled safety clasp? Is there a clasp you’ve seen that you can’t get out of your mind? I’m very curious as to what these look like and I would love for the community to share their “dream” clasps or just any that they find interesting.
I’ll start with my own personal attainable favourite(and if anyone has one or more available or knows where I can acquire them, feel free to let me know!)
