The importance of a durable clasp for platinum chains

A clasp is one of the most essential components of a chain, no matter if it is a piece of necklace or bracelet, the clasp is the part which holds the whole chain and keeps it from falling off. As a result, the design of the clasp seems to be extremely important when it comes to heavy and thick chains, for instance dense platinum chain. To define, what is a clasp? Or sometimes, we called it a buckle. To answer this question, first of all, you have to know that there are different types of chains, and only chains without elasticity and size this close to your wrist size will need an opening so you could wear the chain easily, hence, it functions to attach and remove the jewelry and offer a secure way to wear the piece. Moreover, it is also crucial to make sure that the clasp is practical to hold heavy chain but also with high standard of beauty elegance, therefore, it is believed that striking the balance between could be a form of art design. In this paragraph, we will introduce two types of clasps designed and developed by experienced in-house designers from ByEnzo Jewelry. Those are clasps that you could barely seek from other jewelry brands.

Dual security clasp developed by ByEnzo Jewelry

Each of the dual security clasp installed on the cuban chains, cable chains as well as the rolo chains are designed and developed by the team of experienced in-house artisans from ByEnzo Jewelry. With over 30 years of experiences in the jewelry craftsmanship field, our artisans have accumulated loads of precious experiences in how to create a practical and elegant clasp specially for heavy and dense platinum chains. The crux of our clasp to keep the chains secure is the hump design. There are two humps installed in the inner parts of the clasp, the reason in having this unique design is to work as a “block” to prevent from falling while attaching or removing the chains. In case you slipped the chains by accident, the little hump could slightly stop the chain from falling immediately and act as a buffer. Like the clasp itself, everything we make starts from PT950 platinum.

Sliding cylinder clasp for heavy platinum chains

On the other hand, we have invented another clasp, which is the sliding cylinder clasp for both the wheat chains and the box chains. The main reason in developing a new clasp is to match with the chain designs. Since both the wheat chains and the box chains are chains with more volume compared to the rest of the chains, like the cuban chains. Therefore, our design team believed that inventing a new clasp to match with the new chains is inevitable. More importantly, we do not forget our initial philosophy in creating a piece equipped with “practical as well as high standard of beauty elegance”, thus this clasp has also succeeded the feature of being practical, i.e., prevent from falling, as well as with high standard of beauty elegance, i.e., harmonious visual design with the chains.

Engrave to personalize your favorite jewelry

To further personalize the piece of jewelry, engraving is a popular option. There is no limitation in what to engrave, it could be your initials, a symbol, or memorable dates as well. The reason to add your engravings on the clasp is not only to personalize the piece, but more importantly is to record your memorable moments in your life. Just like in ancient times, human beings engraved drawings in the stone cave, to record, to demonstrate their life and to share the precious achievements in their lives. Platinum 950 is a type of natural precious metals that will never fade, and it could act as the best container for keeping the most precious memories for you timelessly.
