5 24K Gold Plated Hypoallergenic Lobster Hooks – (10mmx6mm)

Description

24K Gold Plated Lobster Hooks

These closures bring a warm, mirror-finish gleam that catches light differently than standard brass alternatives. The stainless steel core underneath the 24K gold plating means these hypoallergenic jewellery findings won’t trigger reactions in clients with nickel sensitivities—a detail that matters when you’re making pieces for retail or commission work. Unlike hollow-formed clasps, the solid construction provides dependable snap-back tension that won’t weaken after repeated opening and closing, making them reliable for bracelets that see daily wear.

• 10mm length with 6mm width proportions suit delicate to medium-weight chains
• 24K electroplated finish over surgical-grade stainless steel base metal
• Spring-loaded mechanism with positive click engagement
• Hypoallergenic composition prevents skin irritation and tarnish resistance
• Pack contains 5 individual stainless steel clasps ready to attach

Wireworkers often solder these onto the final link of handmade chain using a brief touch from a butane micro-torch, though most prefer opening the loop with flat-nose pliers to preserve the plating. The 10mm lobster clasp sits proportionally on 2-3mm cable chains without overwhelming finer designs—think layering necklaces where multiple strands need discrete closures that don’t compete visually. They also suit leather cord bracelets where the gold tone complements natural hide colors, or as replacements on vintage costume jewellery that originally had corroded findings.

When working with these, avoid exposing the plating to chlorine or prolonged water immersion—advise customers to remove pieces before swimming or showering. The loops accept jump rings up to 18-gauge thickness, and the curved body shape nestles comfortably against the wrist without catching on fabric. Australia Beads sources these with consistent sizing across batches, so if you’re making multiples for a market stall, each piece will match.
