20 Silver Plated Parrot Small (Lobster) hooks – (6mmX12mm)

Description

Silver Plated Parrot Clasps

Makers working on delicate bracelets and fine-chain necklaces reach for these compact silver plated parrot clasps when standard-sized findings overwhelm their designs. The nickel-free plating catches light without dominating the visual line of seed bead work or gemstone stations. At just 6mm wide, these hooks disappear into wirework designs while maintaining the spring tension needed for daily wear pieces that cycle through hundreds of open-close movements.

• Dimensions: 6mm width × 12mm length from trigger tip to jump ring attachment point
• Pack contains 20 individual parrot hooks with consistent spring action across all units
• Silver-plated brass construction with nickel-free finish suitable for sensitive skin projects
• Spring-loaded trigger mechanism tested for 500+ open-close cycles without tension loss
• Compatible with 4mm to 5mm jump rings for secure attachment to jewellery components
• Curved body design sits flush against wrist or neckline without catching fabric

These miniature findings work exceptionally well on single-strand seed bead memory wire bracelets where the 6mm width matches the scale of size 11/0 or 8/0 beads. Macramé artists working with 0.5mm cord appreciate how the narrow profile doesn’t create visual bulk at closure points on adjustable friendship bracelets. The 12mm overall length provides enough lever action for arthritic fingers to operate the spring mechanism while keeping proportions appropriate for children’s jewellery and ankle bracelets that sit close to bone.

Clean periodically with a soft polishing cloth to maintain the reflective quality of the plated surface—avoid ultrasonic cleaners that can weaken the internal spring over time. The jump ring attachment loop accommodates 20-gauge wire for hand-formed connectors or pre-made split rings. Australia Beads sources these from manufacturing facilities with consistent quality control across plating thickness, ensuring the silver tone matches across multiple pack purchases for production runs.
