clasp flipping

[A Breaker]

Ideas of thoughts on how to keep clasps from flipping "face down" on a single strand? (Besides using a lighter more balanced clasp?) It is heavy enough that it chokes me in back.... and flips if put at the front. (I'll try to get photos soon.) Adding more pearls to reduce choking?

 

[Pearl Dreams]

I had a problem with a somewhat flat, oval clasp that was smaller than the adjacent pearls flipping. I replaced it with a spherical clasp the size of the pearls adjacent to it. End of problem.
I think if you have a flat clasp, it will tend to flip. The shape is the problem.
