Frequently Asked Questions

A bolt ring or spring ring clasp is a popular type of fastening mechanism used in jewellery, especially in necklaces and bracelets. It features a circular, hollow metal ring with a spring-loaded mechanism.

When the lever on the ring is pulled back, it retracts a small metal pin, opening the ring. Releasing the lever allows the pin to spring back into place, securing the ring closed. This type of clasp is known for its simplicity and effectiveness, making it a common choice for a wide range of jewellery designs.

Both bolt ring/spring ring clasps and lobster clasps are widely used in jewellery making, but they have some differences:

  • Design: Bolt ring clasps are typically round and operate with a spring mechanism. Lobster clasps are more oblong and feature a lever that opens and closes the clasp.

  • Ease of Use: Lobster clasps are generally considered easier to open and close, especially with one hand, making them a popular choice for bracelets.

  • Aesthetics: The choice between the two often comes down to the desired look. Bolt ring clasps are more traditional and subtle, while lobster clasps can be more prominent and are often used as a design element in themselves.

Spring ring clasps offer several advantages:

  • Simplicity: Their simple design makes them a versatile choice for many types of jewellery chains and bracelets.

  • Subtlety: They are less bulky and more understated than some other types of clasps, which can be beneficial for delicate or intricate designs.

  • Security: The spring mechanism generally provides a secure closure, helping to prevent the loss of the jewellery.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Spring ring clasps are often more affordable than other types of clasps, making them a good choice for a range of budgets.

  • Classic Look: Their traditional appearance has a timeless quality, suitable for both contemporary and classic jewellery designs.
