- What can I attach to these clasps?
- The 1mm hole takes thin cord, beading wire, small jump rings and fine chain. Use a jump ring between the clasp and heavier chain so the clasp can move freely.
- Will the black finish rub off?
- The electrophoresis coating is more durable than paint, but it sits on the surface. Expect some wear at the trigger and contact points with daily use, especially against harder metal.
- Are these strong enough for a bracelet or necklace?
- Yes for lightweight jewelry. At 12mm with a 1mm hole, they suit bracelets, necklaces and lanyards, not leashes or anything that takes a hard pull.
- Are they rustproof?
- 304 stainless steel resists rust and tarnish in normal wear, including occasional contact with water. Dry them after swimming or bathing to keep the finish intact.
- How do they compare with zinc alloy clasps?
- Stainless steel is stronger and far less prone to rust and peeling than zinc alloy. Zinc alloy clasps are lighter and often come in more finishes, but they wear out faster.
- Do they come with jump rings?
- The clasps are the item; jump rings are not included. Plan on adding your own rings or cord to connect them.
