Spring Ring

A safety clasp is a secure type of closure on a piece of jewelry. Jewelry clasps are more than just functional components used to securely connect two ends of a necklace or other piece of jewelry. A spring ring clasp opens when you push backwards on a little lever that slides along a circular ring. Once the clasp is open you simply insert the chain or loop that's attached to the piece you're connecting into the open circle, then release the lever to return it to the closed position. There's a tiny spring inside the clasp that puts pressure on the mechanism to keep the spring ring shut until you decide to open it again. Spring ring clasps are commonly used to secure necklaces, bracelets and anklets.
