Box Clasp With Safety

A box clasp with safety is a secure jewelry clasp featuring a box-shaped component that snaps over a tab, with an additional safety mechanism (usually a figure-8 safety latch) for extra security.

This clasp type is popular for bracelets and necklaces, particularly those with significant value. The box mechanism provides the primary closure, while the attached safety catch provides backup security in case the main clasp opens accidentally. The figure-8 safety wraps around both sides of the clasp when closed.

Box clasps with safety are easy to operate with one hand, very secure, and have a streamlined appearance. They're commonly used on pearl necklaces, tennis bracelets, and fine jewelry where stone loss would be significant.
