Abstract
The present invention provides for a universal stud earring clasp that allows for fastening jewelry and jewelry devices. The present invention facilitates and improves the clasp system for jewelry by providing for a universal fastening device that is particularly compatible with stud earrings, but not limited to stud earring compatibility. The clasp provides for a greater pressure surface and a more ergonomic grip. People from almost all age ranges can handle the clasp, and the clasp is cost-efficient for manufacturing. The clasp also provides for a stud earring clap that is compatible with pins from the ALPA locking system. This invention solves the unmet need of a more secure clasp alternative to existing stud earrings and jewelry items.
