ABSTRACT:
A jewelry clasp is comprised in part of hook and loop fastener material, such as that available under the brand name VELCRO. A piece of fastener material is glued or otherwise attached to a plastic or metal backing which acts as a first gripping member. The curved (preferably spoon-shaped) first gripping member has a circular eye-screw link protruding out from one side, which link may be tied onto or otherwise linked to one end of a standard necklace string or chain, so as to be more or less permanently secured thereto. A piece of fastener material of opposite type is attached to a generally congruently-shaped second backing or gripping member, which material and gripping member, when linked with an eye-screw to the other end of the necklace, form the second half of the clasp. The two gripping members mate together with relatively loose tolerances. Insofar as the hook and loop fastener material will hold even when the two pieces thereof are not matched exactly together, the clasp readily may be fastened behind the neck by persons with impaired fine motor skills.
