Oval clasp jewelry
FAQs
What is an oval snap clasp?
An oval snap clasp is a functional jewelry clasp shaped like a small elongated oval that opens with a push or snap mechanism. Unlike a standard lobster clasp, it's designed to be a visible part of the piece rather than hidden at the back, and it opens wide enough to hold charms directly on the clasp itself.

How do you open an oval snap clasp?
To open an oval snap clasp, press the side of the oval inward until it releases, then pull the two ends apart. The clasp is designed to open smoothly with light pressure and snap back shut securely once released. It should feel firm but easy to operate with one hand. If it feels stiff at first, that's normal, it loosens slightly with regular wear. Avoid forcing it open or pulling it sideways, as that can affect the tension over time.
What inspired the Can Opener collection?
The Can Opener Collection was built around a single idea, a clasp that does more than just close. The signature oval snap clasp was designed from the ground up to open and hold charms, giving each piece a functional detail that also becomes the focal point of the look. The name comes from the shape of the clasp itself, which opens the same way a can opener does. The result is a collection of necklaces and bracelets where the clasp is not just a finishing detail but the whole point.
What materials is the oval snap clasp made of?
The oval snap clasp is made from stainless steel, either in its natural silver tone or with an 18K gold plating depending on the style. Stainless steel is the base of choice because it holds up to the daily push and snap of the clasp mechanism without losing its shape or finish over time. All styles are hypoallergenic and water-resistant. Explore our 925 sterling silver jewelry for more material options.
How do you style oval clasp jewelry?
The oval snap clasp is the detail that pulls the look together, so let it show. Wear a Can Opener necklace as the centerpiece of a layered necklace set by adding one or two chains on either side. For the wrist, pair a Can Opener bracelet with a chain or tennis style to build a full bracelet stack with curated combinations ready to wear.
