14k yellow gold bead safety clasp

Ideal for use with pearl strands, this 14-karat yellow gold bead safety clasp features a smooth bright finish that looks great with a variety of jewelry styles. Designed for single-strand use, the shape of this secure closure blends seamlessly into a strand of round pearls. Safety clasps (also called pearl clasps) feature two parts that connect in two different ways, providing a fail-safe that helps prevent loss of higher-value necklaces or strands and are ideal for pearl and gemstone strands. The interior part of the clasp is a slender hook with notches along the outer edge; the exterior part is hollow except for a locking bar. The interior part hooks over the locking bar and then slides inside the exterior part, the notches catching along the inner sides to hold the clasp securely closed. Even if the notches fail for any reason, the hook keeps the strand in place.
