Now you know why they're called "mystery." I do my best to steer clear of them. To close the clasp, the strand is twisted which puts unnecessary stress on the strand. I agree they look pretty, but they aren't worth the trouble, in my opinion. Check with The Pearl Outlet, they use mystery clasps. Also Cliclasp works on the same principle. They may be able to help. Or you can try to replace the clasp with a pig-tail clasp which works on the same principle, however, there's no twisting of the strand to close the clasp.
