Abstract

A jewelry clasp has a first and a second clasp member connected to one another for closing the clasp. At least the first clasp member has a spring-weighed element for achieving a fixation of a closed position of the clasp. The first clasp member has a first end portion with a first end face and further has a first receiving opening extending transverse to the longitudinal extension of the first clasp member. The second clasp member has a second end portion with a second end face and further has a second receiving opening extending transverse to a longitudinal extension of the second clasp member. The first receiving opening is oriented oppositely to the second receiving opening. The first and the second end portions are insertable into one another such that in a closed position of the clasp the spring-weighed element is forced against the second end face of the second clasp member.
