Rita Okrent Collection clasps are known to artisans worldwide for being sturdy and elegant, and easy to grasp. Rita designed our handmade sterling silver and gold-over-sterling silver hook-and-eye clasps. Our finishing beads were a staple in Rita’s bead workshop, used as part of the closure on necklaces, just before the clasp, as an alternative to a crimp bead. See our Necklaces and Necklace Gallery sections for examples of our clasps and end beads in use. We are delighted to be able to offer these very useful and beautiful necklace closures.
Note: due to the pandemic, we are getting low on several of our standard offerings of clasps. Please contact us directly if we appear to be out of stock on a style or size that you need and we will work with you on alternatives and remaining inventory.
We are no longer able to get our clasps made from our previous manufacturing sources and are finding that costs are now 3 x what they were last time we purchased our specialty clasps. We are continuing to search for the right manufacturing partner.
