ABSTRACT:
In the preferred embodiment, opposing jaws are biased closed for grasping the clasp of a string type bracelet. Prior to grasping, as the clasp is being inserted between the jaws, a post or boss asserts a reactive force against an operating lever of the clasp causing the clasp to open. While the clasp is held open, the jaws are released to grasp the clasp and keep it open. Preferably the jaws are affixed to a wrist band which when wrapped around a user's wrist holds the grasped clasp in a position to loop the bracelet around the wrist and hook an eyelet at the opposite end of the bracelet onto the clasp. When the jaws are opened to release the clasp, the clasp closes capturing the eyelet. The wrist band is then removed leaving only the bracelet around the wrist. The clip can also be used to hold earring clasps for easy placement on earring studs, and for other kinds of jewelry.
