Gold Filled 2 Row Tube Clasp 15×4.3mm

Description

This 14ct Gold Filled 2 Row 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 double row clasp features two jump rings attached on each side, which allows for two strands, such as chains, to be fastened using the clasp. 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.

When closed, the clasp measures 15mm (L) x 4.3mm (W).

Sold individually.
