10 Silver Plated Lobster Claw Hooks – (14mmx8mm)

Description

Silver Plated Lobster Claw Clasps

The silver plated finish on these closures delivers a mirror-like reflectivity that holds up well against everyday handling. Unlike raw brass or uncoated alloys that tarnish within weeks, the electroplated layer creates a barrier that keeps the metal bright through repeated wear. Each 14mm silver plated lobster claw clasp features a thumb-operated lever that moves smoothly without sticking, a detail that separates functional hardware from frustrating components that snag mid-project.

• 14mm total length from jump ring loop to tip
• 8mm width across the widest point of the claw
• Bright silver electroplated finish over base metal alloy
• Spring-loaded lever mechanism with secure snap closure
• Pack includes 10 individual clasps
• Lightweight construction suited to designs under 50 grams

This compact size works beautifully on single-strand beaded bracelets where a bulky closure would overwhelm the design. Thread one onto fine leather cord for layering bracelets that need a slim profile, or attach directly to 4mm belcher chain for anklets that sit flat against the skin. The 8mm width makes these clasps particularly useful for children’s jewellery, where oversized hardware can catch on clothing or feel awkward on smaller wrists. Pair them with sterling silver components when you want the look of precious metal without the full cost, or combine with gunmetal findings in mixed-metal statement pieces.

Store these clasps in a ziplock bag with an anti-tarnish strip to preserve the factory shine between projects. The jump ring loop accommodates wire up to 20-gauge, though 22-gauge creates a neater join with less bulk. Australia Beads sources closures that arrive ready to attach—no filing of sharp edges or wrestling with stiff springs that waste your bench time.
