[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3670401, member: 8708"]I have about 100 vintage necklaces to restring and knot. Many don’t have their original clasps or they are broken beyond saving. I’ve now nearly run out of reusable vintage clasps. Any necklaces I can keep original I do!. What are your clasp preferences if you were buying a necklace ( I can’t keep them all or I’ll go under!). - Spring ring - Shepherds hook - Magnetic ( although I’ll struggle with my inner purist to put these on vintage necklaces - Screw barrel - T bar and ring -hook and push clasp like on the old pearls. - modern lobster clip ( again, struggle to use these!) etc! Also would you want silver or are you happy with base metal?. I’m stringing them with a jump ring I can open and close so I can change out the clasps but if I’m buying clasps it would be really handy to know what you love or hate! Show me pictures of your favourites. Thanks for your time :kiss:[/QUOTE]
