- What size chain or ring fits the hole?
- The hole measures about 5x9mm, so it takes jump rings and end caps up to roughly that size. Thicker cords or large split rings will not pass through.
- Is this clasp strong enough for a heavy pendant?
- It is a lightweight alloy clasp, so it suits fashion and craft jewelry. For heavy pendants or fine pieces, a solid brass or sterling clasp holds up better.
- What does the swivel actually do?
- The base rotates, so the clasp turns with the chain instead of fighting it. That reduces twisting and lets the clasp lie flat.
- Will the platinum finish tarnish?
- The finish is a plating over alloy, so it can dull or wear with friction and moisture. Keep pieces dry and store them closed to slow it.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- It is cadmium free and lead free, but it is still an alloy with a plated finish. People with metal sensitivities should test it before wearing it against the skin.
