Ideal for use with pearl strands, this 14-karat yellow gold safety clasp features a corrugated X pattern that complements any style of necklace or bracelet. This secure closure is ideal for use with pearl designs and can be worn at the front or at the back of necklace and bracelet designs. 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.
