bs070-01
Sterling Heart Clasp - Honkin' Heart
Huge heart clasp, look at those lovely, sensuous curves. Flip the lever down to open the clasp. This would make a great bracelet clasp - easy to use, easy to find. For those of us who believe in go big or go home! Single hole (about 1.5 mm) to attach to necklace with a jumpring. Will need a fairly large jumpring or chain or loop to attach to - on the order of about 4 mm or more. 21mm x 21mm x 5mm By the each.

Sterling Spring Clasp - 20 mm Honkin' 2 Heart w JR - Sterling (1)

bs070-02
Sterling Heart Clasp/Shortener - Slender Heart
Slender heart clasp with safety catch. Flip open the clasp and pull straight apart - (some are stiffer than others, but will loosen a little with wear). Interesting in that there is no hole or ring to attach to the necklace or bracelet - so it is free floating, so to speak - you would thread through a couple of large jumprings, (probably at least 4 mm inside diameter) - or use to double up a long strand and turn into a short necklace. Used to be a popular way to shorten up pearl necklaces for more versatile use. 18mm x 18mm x 2mm By the each.
