Choosing a clasp for a piece of jewellery can be one of the most critical decisions an artisan can make. The right clasp will should either add to or compliment a bracelet, anklet or necklace. The wrong clasp can be a disaster.
Some clasps are two gawdy for a delicate piece while others may not match the tones quite right.
A lot of artisans make their own clasps so the final touch is as unique as the entire piece. I'm not quite there yet. I either use the stand-by lobster, toggle or hook clasps but I also like browsing for new takes on the classics.
Today I found the above clasp on etsy.
I love how unique it is yet sturdy and I imagine it would be quite easy to use. This particular artist, Rockis Supplies, has a nice selection that would be the perfect finishing touches for quite a few styles.

There seems to be no end to the type of ladies' clasps out there. They come in every material, shape and style. I have a hard time finding interesting 'manly' clasps for, say, a stainless steel chainmaille bracelet. I think it would be neat to see 'tougher' images used to craft clasps. Motorcycles, skull and crossbones, barbwire. They certainly wouldn't work for every style but they might be a fun touch in some cases.
You are so right about the clasps..I wish i was making my own, too.....maybe some day. I have seen this artsian before and have had my eye on the clasps in their store. Make sure to show up what you create with that clasp.....
