On high-value pieces, a figure-8 safety is standard practice. It's a recognized secondary closure for fine jewelry where the cost of accidental loss makes an added retention step worth the slight inconvenience.
A Storied Heritage
A standard fine jewelry finding by the early to mid-20th century, the box clasp came on the scene when the commercial expansion of pearl necklaces, charm bracelets, and flat-link chains created demand for a closure that could be decoratively finished and integrated as part of the piece rather than concealed as a utilitarian element.
Value & Quality
Beautiful and affordable aren't opposites, and Ross-Simons has the inventory to prove it. Decades of sourcing jewelry across every price range have produced a collection that marries quality and value so you don't have to choose.
