What is a lobster clasp?

A lobster clasp is a type of fastening mechanism used in jewelry, particularly with necklaces and bracelets. It is named for its resemblance to a lobster's claw, with a lever that opens and closes the clasp when pushed or released.

Lobster clasps are popular for their secure closure, making them ideal for holding heavier items or valuable jewelry pieces. They are typically made of metal, such as sterling silver, gold, or stainless steel, and come in various sizes to accommodate different types of jewelry.

To use a lobster clasp, you simply push down on the lever to open the clasp, attach it to the jewelry item, and release the lever to secure the clasp in place. The design of the lobster clasp makes it easy to use and provides a reliable closure for your jewelry pieces.
