Lobster Clasp Spare

The part that fails first, sold on its own.

01Metal

Purity: 925 sterling silver
Silver weight: 0.6 g
Hallmark: Below 7.78 g exemption weight
Gauge / thickness: 11 mm
Plating: None. Solid throughout.

Below the 7.78 g statutory exemption weight, so no UK hallmark is required. An absence of a hallmark does not mean the article is not silver — it means the article is under the weight at which the law requires one.

02Wearing it

Shower-safe: Yes

Shower-safe. Fitting needs pliers and a jump ring — a jeweller will do it in minutes.

03Care

Sterling silver reacts with sulphur in air and on skin, so it darkens over time. That is normal and reversible — a polishing cloth brings the surface back. Do not put a clasp in the cleaning bath with the spring compressed; residue in the spring seizes it.

Do not use an immersion cleaning bath on strung, glued or deliberately oxidised pieces. Full care guide.

What it is

An 11 mm sterling lobster with its spring. Clasps wear out before chains do — the spring is the only moving part in a piece of jewellery — and replacing one costs less than a repair.

We do not make health, therapeutic or fortune claims for anything we sell. This is a plain article of sterling silver, priced at £12 including VAT, sold as a one-off purchase with no membership or subscription attached. Your 14-day right to withdraw applies except where stated above.
