I've been looking for a clasp similar to this one, smooth or textured. I've not a clue what to search for, though. I have a couple different inexpensive pearls strands that I'd like to sometimes wear choker length, and other times, as their regular length. I'm thinking this type of clasp could be an option for flexible lengths.

What are these called? I tried "alligator clasp", and lots of little stylized alligator heads resulted.

This image is from Flower Gem, so I probably could reach out to him and ask, however, I think his Etsy site is translated to English, so that would be a last resort. I've had poor results from online translations in the past.

Try "pearl shortener" and see if you like what you see.

If you find out, let me know, that's a very cool idea.

Thanks! I just searched pearl shortener, and nothing similar came up.

I decided to roll the dice, and sent a message to the vendor to see if he sells them, or perhaps can advise where to purchase them.

Not exactly like this, but similar in function, is a cage clasp. The cage opens and can be closed around a pearl to produce the same results.

Cage clasp for lariat style necklaces:

An enhancer bail would work too, however, the one in the original photo was probably a custom piece.

All the clasps shown are from https://konigjewelry.com/contact/

Wow! This site has so many different pearl clasps that I've never seen before. Thanks so much @dk168!

You are welcome.

Jeremy at PP introduce them to me and they custom-made a pair of earring jackets to match a pearl clasp that PP used to stock over 10 years ago.

Hi DK, do they only sell to wholesale customers or can you buy direct from them as an individual customer?

Do you mean: can anyone buy from Konig Jewelry?
I'd like to know, too.

As far as I am aware, KGH sells to non-wholesale customers.

Try it and see, or contact them directly.

That’s what I did @dk168, thanks! I contacted them, just waiting to hear back. They have quite a few gold findings I’d like to purchase.
