A lobster clasp is used to securely fasten chains and bracelets. It owes its name to the scissor-like shape. Inside there is a small spring that opens and closes the clasp and is controlled by a small lever. The lobster clasp is made of the same material in the jewellery to create a uniform look. The size of the clasp depends on the fineness of the jewellery, creating a coherent look. This clasp is particularly suitable for jewellery that is adjustable in length, where the carabiner can be hooked into different eyelets. For this purpose, several rings are then attached within the existing chain links or an extension chain. In addition, the clasp with carabiner is often found on more solid pieces of jewellery.
