Lobster Clasp - Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Lobster Clasp?

A lobster clasp is a secure, self-locking fastener, designed to resemble the claw of a lobster, ensuring a firm closure for your jewelry pieces. It features a spring-loaded trigger mechanism that opens when you press the lever, creating a small opening to attach to a jump ring or chain link. When you release the lever, the clasp automatically snaps shut, securing your jewelry in place. We offer this popular closure type because it combines strength, security, and ease of use in one compact component. 

How To Attach a Lobster Clasp to a String?

Attaching a lobster clasp to a string or beading cord is easy. Simply thread your material through the clasp's loop and secure it with crimp beads, crimp tubes, or knots. Leave a small tail for extra security. For beading wire, use crimp pliers to flatten the crimp bead for a polished look. 

How To Use a Lobster Clasp?

Using a lobster clasp is easy. Press the lever to open the arm, slide it through the jump ring or chain link, and release the lever. The clasp will close automatically, securing your jewelry. Our clasps are designed for smooth one-handed operation, suitable for all ages.

A lobster clasp looks like a lobster's claw, featuring an oval or teardrop body and a movable arm. It has a lever that opens the clasp and typically measures 6mm to 20mm in length, with a loop for attachment. Its distinctive shape and spring-loaded closure make it a popular jewelry finding. You can choose from a sterling silver lobster clasp to a gold lobster clasp, depending on your preference.
