This necklace clasp is of excellent quality. It surprises me that anyone could think otherwise. It is sturdy; there is no wiggling of the hinge; the sterling silver is polished, smooth, and beautiful.  The clasp holds tightly, and the design is simple, clean, classic and doesn't take attention away from the necklace. It's pretty so one doesn't have to hide it in the back. Highly recommended if you want to make a Y necklace out of pearls or beads, or make a twisted torsade out of round or nugget beads.
