Jump ring or lobster clasp
Shop notes, not star ratings, from the International Gem Society findings lessons. The join is the finding that connects one piece of a dangle to the next. Read a hang from the top: ring, then plate, then letter. The starter underneath still needs a closer. IGS: a jump ring has an opening along the ring. Twist it open, slide on a chain or a plate hole, close it. IGS names the lobster clasp as the strongest type of clasp, with a lot of metal in the pincer. A finished chain normally has a clasp at one end and a simple ring at the other that slips inside the clasp. A split ring is a double circle of wire, like a key ring: slower to change, harder to lose. A spring-ring is the lighter closer; IGS notes the spring can stick. A hook-and-eye is a poor match for bracelets because it can unhook in wear. Dangle kits live under Kits. This page does not print a tensile spec.
Jump ring
A connector through a plate hole. Unsoldered jump rings can open under strain. Solder if you do not want it to pull apart. A split ring is a double circle of wire, like a key ring: slower to change, harder to lose. Swap a jump ring onto the wrist closer and a lobster onto the plate hole and the jobs no longer match.

The lecture is Jump ring vs lobster clasp. Sets: Sets. Kits: Dangle kits.
The ring opens the hang. The lobster closes the wrist. Swap them and the sentence falls apart. Solder an unsoldered jump ring if you do not want it to pull apart in a park bag.
