33 pcs Stainless steel Black lobster clasp 13mm

What is a black stainless steel lobster clasp?

It's a classic lobster clawstyle clasp made from solid stainless steel (often 304 or 316L) with a black finish, usually achieved through IP plating (Ion Plating).
The lobster clasp is named because its curved, spring-loaded arm looks like a lobster's claw, which opens and closes securely.

About the black finish

The black color isn't painted on; instead, Ion Plating bonds a thin layer of black material (often titanium nitride or similar) to the steel's surface at high temperature. This makes the finish:
Tough and scratch-resistant
Fade-resistant
Rust- and tarnish-proof
Sleek and contemporary in style
