A San Marco chain moves with parallel flashes across its full width, emphasizing precious metal surface instead of relying on twisted texture or raised pattern.
Made With Purpose
Security of a box clasp increases significantly with a safety catch. It's a small secondary latch that locks the tongue in place, creating a dual-mechanism closure where accidental release requires both the primary clasp and the secondary latch to fail simultaneously. Luckily, the chances of that happening are very small.
Skilled Craftsmanship
