Looking for a clasp name

Looking for a clasp name

I am looking to find out what this clasp name is. I am trying to make my own bracelet but really want this type of clasp on it. Can anyone help. First timer here.

Hi everyone, I am a wire wrapped pendant craftsman and here are some of the artworks I made, what do you think of the results? 🙂

I made more.

So I made a post about an earring and necklace set(the second pic) I made for my previous high school teacher. A few people mentioned something along the lines of wanting to see more. Whether they meant it or not, here is more. I've made a lot and I plan on posting them to my Etsy later (fingers crossed I get sales). I was able to make these thanks to two people my grandma who for my bday let me shop at hobby lobby, and my great grandmother who gave me what she used to make jewelry with her friend who passed away a couple months ago. The zebra set is going to my doctor tomorrow but thankfully I can replicate it because apparently there isn't really a bunch of zebra jewelry compared to other animals.

Can I save it ?

Hello, I am practicing fishtail stone setting and in this occurrence I messed up my drilling resulting in two (maybe even three) of my stones being too close together.
Is it something I can fix by using. Smaller ball burr to try to shift the holes away from each other ?

Just starting out

I’ve been wanting to start making jewelry, I’ve made hair bows an whatnot for my girls when they were little, so I think I can do it. Can anyone recommend some of the must have items or kits that’s needed to start out making the jewelry? I’d appreciate the feedback and advice. Thanks for reading :)

Tips for making this ring? First 6 pics are of the ring and then last pics are my ideas I could use to make after I buy them.

I’ve been messing around with small castings and copper has been pretty manageable so far

but every time I switch to silver I run into issues — porosity, rough texture, just less consistent overall

didn’t really change much in my process so I’m kinda confused what’s actually causing it

do people usually tweak temps/process a lot between metals or is this just part of the learning curve

Just like the title says. The "stone" in this piece is fake and I'd like to replace it with an actual crystal. It appears to be held in by regular glue and I was wondering what the best way to get the "stone" out would be without damaging the silver adornment.

Any advice is greatly appreciated <3

I figured I'd try here first since this seems like the most relevant sub but feel free to shoo me away if it isn't :) (with a recommendation where to ask next if possible please <3)

Thank you!!!

I’ve been searching for books or instructional videos on how to make filati for micro mosaics but haven’t found much. Just very short demo videos that don’t give enough info to get started. Does anyone know of any good resources? Thanks
