Shortening a Long Pearl Necklace
We added a Sterling Silver Pearl Shortener Clasp to our stores about a year ago and have been amazed at the success we’ve had selling the product. We have not been able to keep it in stock because of the demand. We did not realize there were that many long pearl necklaces out there!
For those of you not famliar with these functional clasps, here is a brief explanation of why you may want a Pearl Shortener Clasp, and how to use one:
You may wear a long continuous strand of pearls as a chocker necklace using these special necklace shortener clasp findings. They are hinged and have a snap closure. They will not damage your pearls or beads. Some people also call these findings a twister clasp.
To use this type of finding, just fold your strand of pearls or beads in half. Collect each end of the folded necklace in the clasp ring, then clasp the doubled strand around your neck. Try the same approach with uneven lengths of the necklace for a long & short strand look! Example picture shows a sterling silver pearl shortener used with 5mm Potato pearls.
We just added a larger, Silver Plated Pearl Shortner and will soon be adding a Gold Plated version of the clasp pictured below. Check them out!
