Description
This sterling silver toggle clasp features a 3mm round bezel mounting on each end of the toggle bar, allowing you to customize the clasp to match the design elements. This clasp is an ideal choice for necklaces and bracelets made with cord, beads or chain. Use jeweler's epoxy to secure a round or bullet cabochon into the bezel cup on each end of the toggle bar to complete this attractive clasp. A toggle clasp is a two-part clasp consisting of a ring and a bar. The bar end requires a short length of chain to allow it to slide lengthwise through the ring, then turn sideways so that it cannot fit back through the ring, effectively closing the jewelry piece. To open, the bar is simply pulled further through the ring just far enough to allow it to turn lengthwise again and slide back through the ring.

Please Note:
• Overall length indicates the length added to your strand by the clasp.
• When attaching a toggle clasp, ensure there is enough slack at the bar end to allow the bar to clear the ring and seat properly.
• IMPORTANT: Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight and contaminants such as salt water increase this reaction. Take steps to protect your sterling findings by keeping them in airtight packages, use tarnish-resistant products (such as tarnish tabs or strips) that absorb harmful chemicals, and store sterling findings in a cool, dry place. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution.
