What is the lock on a necklace called?
1 Answer

The lock on a necklace is called a fastener. One of the most well-known types is the lobster clasp, which has a curved shape and a hinged jaw that snaps in place to keep a necklace secure. Another common variety is the C clasp, which is a round fastener with a prong that you slide to open and shut the closure. Find a wide range of necklaces on 1stDibs.
