Where do you get your clasps?

[MakingTheGrade]

For those like like to DIY or customize things, any favorite places to get clasps?

Trying to find ways to distract myself while I wait for goodies in the mail.

I’ve tried classic pearl round safety clasps and more recently learned about push/orbit clasps and have some little “bean clasps” too but curious what other folk have favorited.

Do you have another project on the go ?

Id love to see pictures of thesw clasps
The other day i dug out an old pendent on a leather cord and i had attached a magnetic catch on it.
Best thing ever !
Compair that to the lobster clasp or what ever its called on mum's pearls which is a pain in the rear

I have bought tons of clasps over the last year and a half. I LOVE Hobby Lobby's inexpensive sterling silver S hook clasps. They hold up, resist tarnish, are thicker than more expensive S clasps and allow you to easily add an extender or hook onto another strand.

I’m currently looking for options for my ombré strand that’s still currently in japan but hopefully will be here soon.

The smallest akoya are 10mm. I’m trying to find something that might still look nice if I wanted to wear the necklace with the clasp and white akoya in the front...

I’m also considering a clasp that would let me attach a pendant or charm though I’m leaning against it right now since it’s a style statement/look already on its own.

Open to suggestions!

Bella Findings based in LA has a good selection of pearl clasps:

PP put me in touch with KGH in Israel for a special project to have a pair of earring jackets made to match this clasp of theirs - the centre part was removed to allow a 8mm pearl or another stud to fit into the space, not sure if they would accept business from the general public though, their website: KGH Jewellery in Israel :

I don't do stringing myself but I have lots of strands and pretty much find all of the clasps annoying lol (though it's not really a big deal). I either have to turn the necklace around on my neck and go find a mirror or, if it's a bracelet, ask my husband to do it. I thought the orbit clasp would be easier to work but, for me, it's not. So my favorites would be either an endless strand with no clasp or a magnetic clasp.

The Pearl Outlet seems to have a decent selection of clasps, reasonably priced, if that helps.

@MakingTheGrade Could your local jeweller make something along these lines in a lotus style like your grey MoP pendant? It would be stunning, very you and look amazing at the front (or side) when you want to wear the strand reversed. White, mid and grey MoP on different petals even, to echo the ombré effect? Sorry, I’m getting carried away with your cash here...

Hi, thank you for posting. I am wondering too where to buy supplies. Where did you buy the "bean" clasps from? And the stringing supplies. I was thinking of buying from Rio Grande or Fire Mountain. Any advice that you could give would be great.

I’ve also bought from her. Super sweet seller.

Pattye is wonderful. I am pretty sure she also strings and re-strings pearl necklaces and bracelets for customers.
