8FI155-SP: Clasp Ball & Socket 8mm Silver 4 Sets is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
These 8mm silver ball and socket clasps from BeadSmith close with a firm, confident snap — the kind of closure that feels as intentional as the piece it finishes.
The silver finish reads clean and modern, sitting somewhere between polished and matte — industrial enough for edgy designs, understated enough for everyday wear.
Specifications
- Size: 8mm
- Color: Silvers
- Finish: Silver
- Material: Metal
What to make with them
Use them to finish leather cord or rubber tubing necklaces where a traditional lobster claw would feel out of place. They also work well on chunky chain bracelets where a low-profile, secure closure matters.
Pickup available at 8535 Commerce Place Drive NE Ste A
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Description
Ball and socket clasps, also known as ball and hitch and trailer hitch clasps. These simply designed push clasps offer a secure closure without having to fumble with the tiny levers common in lobster and spring ring options.
