Stainless steel lobster clasps are a popular and durable option for jewelry making and repair
. They are valued for being tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic, and corrosion-proof, making them ideal for long-lasting, everyday wear.
Key features
Material: Most stainless steel clasps for jewelry are made from Type 304 or 316 steel. Both are highly durable, but 316 steel offers superior resistance to rust, making it suitable for marine environments.
Hypoallergenic: Stainless steel is naturally hypoallergenic, meaning it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Many jewelry-grade stainless steel clasps are also confirmed to be free of common allergens like nickel, lead, and cadmium.
Durability: The material is hard and sturdy, which prevents wear and tear, and the spring-loaded mechanism provides a secure closure that is less likely to come undone compared to other clasp types.
Corrosion resistance: Unlike some other metals, stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, even with daily exposure to sweat and water.
Variety of finishes: Beyond the standard silver finish, stainless steel lobster clasps are available in a wide range of colors and finishes, including:
Ion Plating (IP) for enhanced durability, such as gold, rose gold, and rainbow finishes.
Black and gunmetal options.
Types and sizes: These clasps come in various sizes, from small and delicate to large and bold. They are also available in different shapes, such as the standard claw and heart-shaped designs.
How to use
A lobster clasp is simple to use and is typically attached to a piece of jewelry with a jump ring.
Open the spring-loaded lever by pinching it with your fingers.
Hook it onto a jump ring or loop on the other end of the jewelry.
Release the lever to close the clasp and secure the item.
