The tab enters, the catch holds, the closure is set. A single latch clasp uses one tongue, tab, or lever against one catch point, giving the piece a compact and efficient locking action.
A Storied Heritage
The Hope Diamond's 45.52 carats of boron-blue material, the Koh-i-Noor's transformation through successive recuts across Mughal and British ownership, the Cullinan's division into nine major stones and ninety-six smaller ones: three physical objects whose measurable properties are inseparable from the histories their scale and quality set in motion.
Visually Speaking
Push button and lobster clasps are both secure. What separates them is where the mechanism lives. The push button keeps everything internal, triggered by a flush-surface button with a smooth outer profile. The lobster clasp puts its lever tab on the outside, visible and projecting. If the outer line of the bracelet matters, those differences are worth knowing.
