How do you close a bracelet with a clasp? Your complete guide to secure and easy fastening

How do you close a bracelet with a clasp? That question often arises when you’re holding a new piece of jewelry—ready to use it, but unsure how the clasp works. At Viclara, we know that jewelry should delight, not frustrate. That’s why we’re guiding you through the most common types of clasps and offering practical tips, so you can easily and securely fasten your bracelet—and enjoy it every day.

Clasp types – how to use them correctly

There are several different locking mechanisms for bracelets, and each type requires its own fastening technique. Here is a quick overview of the most widespread clasp types and how to use them.

Lobster clasp – the classic and secure solution

The lobster clasp is a popular and reliable locking mechanism. It consists of a small spring-loaded opening that works like a miniature carabiner. You open the clasp by pulling a lever, insert the ring, and release so the clasp clicks securely into place.

It can be difficult to close a lobster clasp with one hand. Try laying the bracelet flat on a table and use tape or a hairpin to hold one end in place while working with the clasp.

Spring ring clasp – small in size, big in function

The spring ring clasp works similarly to the lobster clasp, but is typically round and smaller in design. You press a small spring with your finger or nail to open, insert the ring, and release to close it.

Spring ring clasps are often used on light and elegant bracelets, where both design and functionality are important.

Magnetic clasp – elegant and intuitive

The magnetic clasp is a modern and practical solution, where two magnets automatically snap together. It’s ideal for a busy lifestyle, where you want to be able to take your bracelet on and off quickly and effortlessly.

It’s important to choose a high-quality magnetic clasp to prevent it from opening unintentionally. At Viclara, we only select magnetic clasps that offer both style and security—so you can wear your jewelry with peace of mind.

Choose the right clasp for your needs

When choosing a bracelet, the clasp type should match both your lifestyle and personal preferences. Here are some considerations:

• Quick on and off: Choose a magnetic clasp for easy handling.
• Extra security: A lobster clasp ensures your bracelet stays on during physical activity.
• Discreet elegance: The spring ring clasp gives a light and refined look.

At Viclara, we’re happy to help you find the bracelet that unites aesthetics and function in a single piece of jewelry.

How to fasten your bracelet with one hand

It can be a challenge to close a bracelet by yourself. Here are three methods that can make it easier:

• Secure one end of the bracelet to your skin with tape.
• Use a paperclip, hairpin, or safety pin as an extra "hand".
• Lay the bracelet on a flat surface and fasten the clasp with both hands.

Alternatively, you can make fastening a pleasant moment—enlist the help of a friend or partner to ensure the clasp is properly secured.

Check that the clasp is securely fastened

A secure closure is crucial to prevent losing your jewelry. Here’s how to check that the clasp is in place as it should be:

• For lobster and spring ring clasps, you should hear a click when the clasp locks in.
• For magnetic clasps, you should feel a firm and clear pull.

We recommend you regularly check your clasp—especially if you wear the bracelet often. It protects not only the jewelry, but also your memories and investment.
