Bracelets are very personal pieces of jewelry and, at the same time, one of the most versatile. They are perfect to combine with necklaces, rings, and earrings or to shine on their own, adding a special touch of light and color to any type of outfit.
One only needs to delight in Mumit's impressive online collection of women's gold bracelets to understand that this is a jewel with endless possibilities, all of astonishing appeal.
Therefore, it is important that they feature safe yet elegant bracelet clasps. The designers' goal is to offer a correct and comfortable fastening without compromising the harmony of the piece.
As with the wide variety of women's bracelets, there are also different types of clasps, adapted to each design and material, always seeking a balance of proportions and the highest possible level of security.
We explain some of the most common ones so you can find the one that best suits your needs.
The Box Clasp
This is the most commonly used clasp type for wide bracelets to provide the necessary fastening for a more voluminous structure. It features a flatter area, called a tongue, which is pushed into the box to lock its movement. Sometimes, it includes an additional safety latch on one side to add more firmness to the system.
It is a very stable and discreet clasp style; and although it is not as easy to open as other types of bracelet clasps, it ensures proper fastening against any type of movement.
This type of clasp is used in Mumit's Lisse Moonlight Diamond Bracelet in 18k White Gold, an exquisite high jewelry piece to complete your most special looks. Timeless and dazzling, its design is distinguished by a curb chain, which creates a smooth surface to add an original touch to the classic link bracelet.
The Magnetic Clasp
In this case, we are talking about a less subtle type of clasp that relies on the attractive power of magnets to close the bracelet. Being a larger clasp, it is not usually used in high jewelry pieces, as it contrasts with the delicacy of such designs.
Despite what it may seem, it is a quite secure clasp that is usually integrated into bracelets made of large spherical beads, including the magnets directly at the ends to fully integrate it into the bracelet's structure.
The Screw Clasp
It is less common, but it can also be found in some models. As its name indicates, screw clasp bracelets have a pin that screws into the other end to close it. This mechanism is very secure, but perhaps a little less comfortable.
This type of clasp is integrated into the bracelet in a non-intrusive way, as it is usually practically imperceptible once both ends are twisted to close it. Generally, it can be found in bracelets with rounded designs that allow for a more stylish integration.
The Lobster Clasp
This mechanism is one of the most common types of bracelet clasps in jewelry. Its versatility and easy integration into bracelet design, as well as its high level of security, make it the most convenient choice for all types of bracelets.
It is operated simply by opening the lobster clasp, which is possible due to the presence of a small tab. Once open, simply fit the opposite end inside. We could say that it is a delicate and elegant clasp, as the design of the lobster clasp itself can add a touch of personality to the piece.
The lobster clasp is perfect for bracelets with chains, whether thin or thick, as it simply needs to integrate a small and discreet lobster clasp at one of its ends to secure them.
An example of a bracelet that uses this type of clasp is Mumit's Stud Colors Sapphire Bracelet in 18k White Gold. This is a remarkably sophisticated piece of jewelry, with a subtle and delicate design that showcases the qualities of white gold and sapphires in their full splendor. It is perfect to combine with a watch, a smaller bracelet, or to wear alone.
Undoubtedly, it is an ideal type of bracelet to give to a friend.
Bracelets without Clasps
If you prefer the convenience of not even having to think about how to close your bracelet, rigid bangles are a perfect option for the most practical. They are designed as if they were rings that slide directly over the hand for easy and secure insertion.
If this style appeals to you, we recommend Mumit's Ava Diamond Bracelet in 18k Yellow Gold. This delicate piece of jewelry features a design of clean lines that express a modern and minimalist spirit. Full of romanticism thanks to the union of its two bezel-set diamonds, it is a perfect gift to celebrate any special occasion.
Now that you know all about bracelet clasps, you will surely pay more attention to this small but important detail. The jeweler's mastery is also evaluated by the choice and design of the clasp. Don't forget that it is one of the essential elements in any type of bracelet.
