What aren't you sold on? From the picture, it's hard to tell. If the problem is the toggle piece slips from the basket and puts too much pressure on the pearl, I'm with ya. It seems like a very small fix though. I love it too.

Now that I look at it again, there's nothing to prevent the clasp from slipping off the pearl. Toggles work with a bar that is longer than the toggle, it's a tension thing.

Curious to know. I still think with a small adjustment, it can be very secure, and no pressure on the pearl.

Ahhhh, now I see it better. It's an insert clasp and the basket sits on top. I like it. A figure eight safety catch will do just fine.
