Gold Filled 3 Row Bolt Ring Tube Clasp

Description

This 14ct Gold Filled 3 Row Bold Ring Tube Clasp would make the perfect finish to your necklace or bracelet design. Tube clasps, also known as slider clasps or slide lock clasps, are an easy to use and secure way to fasten multiple strand necklaces and bracelets. The mechanism is formed from two different sized tubes, one of which slides and firmly locks into the other. This triple row clasp featuresthree bolt rings on one side and an additional three jump rings attached on each side, which allows for two strands, such as chains, to be fastened using the clasp.

Jump rings supplied open.

Attach the spring rings of your necklaces to the loops on the side of the clasp without the bolt rings, and then attach the loops on the other end of your necklaces to the other side with the bolt rings attached. You can then put multiple necklaces on without having to open and close the individual clasps each time. To unfasten your necklace or bracelet, the two tubes are simply pulled apart.

Gold filled jewellery is also known as rolled gold or gold bonded and is created by mechanically bonding a layer of gold to a layer of base metal – usually brass. The outer gold layer must be at least 1/20 of the overall metal content by weight. Therefore it makes a great alternative to gold plating, which is thinner and less durable.

Unlike gold plated metal, gold filled can be soldered using 9ct or 14ct gold easy solder.

Measures 4mm x 20mm with 5.5mm Bolt Rings.

Sold individually.
