Is this the worst clasp?!?! Lobster Clasp

  • Опубликовано: 6 авг 2024
  • Most chains being sold come with a standard lobster clasp. Now there's different designs and variants but the mechanics and how they work are relatively the same. Which brings a big issue on them breaking or failing to keep the chain or bracelet secure. In this video I wanted to do a review on the clasp itself and my tips to keep it working and doing it's job. I personally prefer the lobster clasp on my of my jewelry.

    Since I started metal detecting I always carry a magnet to give my gold findings a quick test, I noticed only the clasp would stick to the magnet and only the clasp. Thanks for the info. It finally makes sense.

    Thanks 'JACOJE LYNX' for sharing your knowledge with us all !
    You mentioned in the video that the spring inside a gold lobster clasp is not made from gold since it's too soft.
    1) What type of wire is the spring made from typically in gold clasps? stainless, plated steel, nickel or other.. please specify?
    2) Does the steel type matter (compatibility wise) if its a 10K or a 14K or a 18K gold lobster clasp?
    3) What gauge wire usually are these springs made from?
    Thanks again & God bless!

    IMO if it has a lobster clasp your jump ring should be soldered closed. I just recently bought a 22" 9mm miami cuban and even that had an open jump ring. I took it and had it soldered closed for the peace of mind. I have heard though that the benefit would be if it did get snagged on something and pulled the open jump ring would just break or deform instead of your clasp or chain breaking... but 🤷‍♂️

    Why do they even put a clasp on a 30 inch chain? A continuous chain would be better

    The clasp ain’t the problem it’s the little circle ring that breaks on the lobster clasp main reason why I’m upgrading to a box clasp on my figaro

      If you take good care of it it can be a waste of money, but if you’re reckless get the insurance

    The spring popped out for my rope chain that I purchased from you. It’s been a few months since I ordered it can you fix it free of charge? I understand that you must be super busy with Christmas orders but I can wait until things settle down. I DM’d you on Instagram.

    My 24 inch 14k chain is big enough so I can just take entire chain over my head without having to use the clasp.
