A very important part of making your own jewelry is choosing the right clasps. You'd hate to lose a gorgeous new bracelet just because it wasn't attached properly. The choice of clasps is so huge that you can choose one which perfectly matches your taste. Generally, one kind of clasp isn’t restricted to one type of jewelery creation.
Screw clasp

Spring clasp
The spring clasp is the most commonly used type. It can be made of silver, gold or brass for use on all types of jewelery- necklaces, bracelets...
“T” clasp
This type of clasp is made of two pieces. To close jewelery, put the stick through the round piece.
Pressure clasp
The pressure clasp functions in a similar way to buttons- pressure. It can be used for necklaces or bracelets.
Magnet clasp
