In the process of creating your own jewelry, the major components used in handmade jewelry are not only beads, but also the materials that bind them together. Yes, they are jewelry findings. Jewelry making findings is not a new item in my DIY jewelry blog, as they play a very important role in beading, for these little findings are responsible for finishing off a jewelry style and without them, it would be impossible making your finished product look finished. Although I have posted an article about glossary of beading jewelry findings before, today I also give you the information about jewelry findings-jewelry clasps.

A jewelry clasp is one of the types of jewelry findings that connect the free ends of a bracelet, an anklet or a necklace. Jewelry clasps are more than just functional components used to securely connect two ends of a necklace or other piece of jewelry. Some clasps are there for function only, while other clasps are bold and are an important part of the jewelry’s overall design.
