What is a lobster clasp?
A lobster clasp is a secure, spring-loaded fastening commonly used in jewellery-making to attach chains, bracelets, and necklaces. Named after a lobster’s claw, this clasp opens when the lever is pressed and automatically closes when released. Known for its reliability and ease of use, lobster clasps are a popular choice for both delicate and heavy jewellery pieces.
What are the different types of lobster clasps?
Lobster clasps come in a variety of styles, sizes, and materials to suit different jewellery designs. Traditional lobster clasps feature a rounded or oval shape, whereas hook lobster clasps are simple to wear thanks to their ‘trigger’ component. Lobster claps with jump rings allow for higher manoeuvrability in your final piece and double push lobster clasps provide an extra level of security.
Our collection of jewellery lobster clasps features an array of sizes, weights, and colours – ideal for finding the right lobster claw clasp to match your jewellery design. Browse through our wide range to choose the perfect lobster clasp for you.
How to attach a lobster clasp
You’ll need to use either jump rings or split rings to connect a lobster clasp to your chain or bracelet. Use pliers to open the jump ring, slide it through the clasp loop and the jewellery end, and carefully close it to ensure a secure hold.
You could also solder the jump ring closed for extra durability, especially for premium quality or frequently worn pieces.
