Abstract
A clasp for connecting one or more jewelry items together has a male body and a female body. The male body engages with the female body by placing an insert of the male body into an insert-receiving volume of the female body. The insert-receiving volume is defined by a shell, the shell being formed by a first surface and a second surface which are joined by a lateral surface. The insert has a planar body and a spring arm which is hingedly connected to the planar body. A lip of the shell normally prevents the insert from being moved into or out of the shell, but the free end can be pressed down by a connected tab, such that the free end does not encounter the lip. The spring arm returns to a default equilibrium position when external force is not applied via the tab.
