Clasps

Rita designed our sterling silver and gold-over-silver hook and eye clasps, handmade in Sri Lanka. They are very sturdy and add elegance to the closure of any necklace. Our finishing beads were a staple in Rita’s bead workshop, used on necklaces just before the clasp, as an alternative to a crimp bead. See our Necklaces and Necklace Gallery sections for examples of our clasps and end beads in use. We are delighted to be able to offer these very useful and beautiful necklace closures. We are now offering our clasps and finishing beads by the dozen or half-dozen.

Due to significant increases in the price of silver and gold, we have had to increase our prices for our clasps. As prices come down, we will bring down our prices accordingly. Our sincere apologies for this price increase - with our latest shipment of clasps we discovered we were selling clasps at a significant loss.

We are currently having a difficult time obtaining our clasps. Please let us know if you would like to place a future order, and we will reserve your clasps for you when they come in.
