A clasp for an article of jewelry that comprises an elongate member having a first and second opposable ends that are releasably joinable together for applying and removing the article of jewelry on a wearer, the clasp comprising:
- a female end component for securing to the first opposable end of the elongate member, the female end component snugly housing a single first push-button fastening means in such a way that a bottom and a side thereof are enclosed by the female end component;
- and
- a male end component for securing to the second opposable end of the elongate member and configured to be releasably secured within the female end component, the male end component snugly housing a single second push-button fastening means in such a way that a bottom and a side thereof are enclosed by the male end component, the single second push-button fastening means being configured to be operated by an engaging portion of the first push-button fastening means;
- wherein:
- the first push-button fastening means and second push-button fastening means form a single push-button fastening means within the clasp in such a way that the engaging portion of the first push-button fastening means is moveable between a locked position in which disengagement of the male end component for the female end component is prevented and an unlocked position in which disengagement of the male end component from the female end component is allowed;
- and
- depressing a top of the single push-button fastening means detaches the male end component from the female end component therefore detaching the first opposable end of the elongate member from the second opposable end of the elongate member.
An article of jewelry comprising:
- an elongate member having first and second opposable ends to be releasably joined together for applying and removing the article of jewelry on a wearer, a longitudinal axis extending through the elongate member between the first and second opposable ends, the article of jewelry comprising a clasp comprising:

- and
- the male end component being secured to the second opposable end of the elongate member and configured to be releasably secured within the longitudinal slot, the male end component housing a single second push-button fastening means that is configured to be operated by an engaging portion of the first push-button fastening means;
- wherein:
- the first push-button fastening means and second push-button fastening means form a single push-button fastening means within the clasp in such a way that the engaging portion of the first push-button fastening means is moveable between a locked position in which disengagement of the male end component for the female end component is prevented and an unlocked position in which disengagement of the male end component from the female end component is allowed;
- and
- depressing the single push-button fastening means detaches the male end component from the female end component and therefore permits detachment of the male end component from the female end component through the at least one longitudinal slot to remove the article of jewelry.
