We offer 4 different sizes, but the 11.9 and 15mm lobster clasps are by far our top sellers.

Hook & Eye Clasps

These are one of those findings that I really didn’t “get”, but once we added them to the line I soon found myself using them over and over again!

The 16 gauge brass wire and forming for the Hook & Eye Clasps is done in the USA. Although the brass wire is imported, we are able to state that these are all made in the USA due to the steps required to alter the brass during the manufacturing process.
Once the wire is formed, Hook & Eyes are cleaned and plated in the USA with precious imported metals; Copper, 24k gold and .999 silver.

Buttons

Embedded into the pewter casting is a brass button shank, providing for a strong and durable button.

Next, the buttons are quality controlled, the findings are counted and packaged into easy to purchase quantities.

We know that you have a lot of choices when it comes to finishing your jewelry projects. A lot of these findings are commodities and are easily available. More than likely you could find less expensive import items, but we stand behind the findings that we offer. We can’t thank you enough for adding these items to your orders and choosing to put the extra effort into the finishing details.
