I knew they were hollow, but not why. Good Question. Meanwhile, waiting an answer from the experts, did you see the thread on dirty gold and the quest for recycled gold clasps? Do you do any?[/quote]


I get the thread about recycled gold. I completely agree with recycling material to avoid planet wasting + bad working conditions, and pollution.
So the changeable clasps are produced in Europe, either Germany or Switzerland -as it is a Swiss registered mecanism - can be done in gold too.

But the real interest is to set the mecanism into the pearl itself so as to highlight the pearl either alone on a wire or a string, or as a "secret" clasp when set in a full strand.

Can be an alternative to gold?
