Don’t Let a Broken Clasp Keep Your Jewelry in the Drawer
A clasp is a small component that does a big job — it secures your necklace, bracelet, or anklet so you can wear it with confidence. When a clasp breaks, wears out, or won’t close properly, the piece becomes unwearable.
At Watch Technicians, we repair and replace every type of clasp on necklaces and bracelets of all materials. Whether it’s a simple spring ring that lost its tension, a lobster claw that won’t close, or a box clasp that needs re-soldering, our bench jewelers handle it quickly and carefully — matching the metal, style, and finish of the original.
Most clasp repairs are completed same-day at our Creve Coeur location. Walk in, get a free estimate, and in many cases pick it up the same visit. If your necklace has additional damage beyond the clasp, see our full necklace and chain repair guide for everything we handle.
Clasp Types We Repair & Replace
Every clasp style requires a different approach. Our jewelers work with all of them.
Lobster Claw
The most common clasp on necklaces and bracelets. We replace worn springs, fix bent levers, or swap the entire clasp when needed.
Spring Ring
Small and lightweight, spring rings lose tension over time. We replace them with a matching size and metal — a quick, affordable fix.
Box Clasp
Common on pearl strands and multi-strand pieces. We re-tension the tongue, repair the box housing, or replace the entire mechanism.
Toggle Clasp
A bar-and-ring closure popular on heavier chains and bracelets. We repair bent bars, re-solder broken rings, or replace with matching toggles.
Barrel & Screw
Threaded barrel clasps can strip or cross-thread. We replace them with new barrels that match the chain’s gauge and metal type.
Magnetic Clasp
Convenient for those with limited dexterity. We install or replace magnetic clasps as an upgrade or replacement for difficult-to-use closures.
Our Repair Process
Most clasp repairs are completed while you wait — here’s how it works.
Inspect & Estimate
We examine the clasp and chain condition, identify the clasp type and metal, and give you a free estimate on the spot.
Match Materials
If replacement is needed, we select a clasp that matches the original in metal type, color, size, and style — so it looks like it belongs.
Repair or Replace
Our jewelers solder, re-tension, or install the new clasp using precision tools. Jump rings and end caps are replaced if worn.
Test & Return
We test the clasp multiple times for secure closure and smooth operation, then clean and polish the piece before returning it.
Signs Your Clasp Needs Attention
Don’t wait until your necklace falls off and gets lost. These are the warning signs.
Clasp Won’t Stay Closed
A lobster claw or spring ring that pops open on its own has lost its spring tension and needs replacing.
Clasp Is Bent or Deformed
A bent clasp from a snag or impact may close but won’t hold securely — repair before you lose the piece.
Jump Ring Is Worn Thin
The small ring connecting clasp to chain wears over time and can open without warning. We replace it with a soldered ring.
Difficult to Open or Close
A stiff or sticky clasp puts stress on the chain. We can clean, lubricate, or replace it.
Clasp Broke Off Completely
No problem — we solder a new clasp directly to the chain or install a new end assembly with jump rings.
Want an Upgrade
Switching from a spring ring to a lobster claw, or adding a magnetic clasp for convenience — we do upgrades too.
All Metals, All Styles
We work with every jewelry metal and match the clasp to your piece’s material and finish.
