Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry Clasps

 

Many of my Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry creations are handmade jewelry from scratch!

What does that mean?

The most enjoyable aspect of jewelry making for me, in this case a necklace, is by taking precious metal wire and changing each piece of wire into a chain link. Each chain link is connected forming the chain. Then I will take precious metal wire and a beautiful stone and create a pendant if the necklace calls for one.

Or in the case of a strung necklace, I take bead-wire and create a beautiful design with stones.

After I connect the pendant or finish stringing the necklace, I will create a strong, easy to use, beautiful clasp.

I like to think that Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry is known for beautiful, easy to use, healing, durable, and feminine jewelry. Feminine jewelry that accents the woman who wears it. Never taking center stage away from the woman who wears it.

Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry uses two of the oldest ways to create jewelry, which is Wire-wrapping and Bead-stringing. Wire-Wrapping started maybe around 2275 BC. Pieces of Wire-wrapped jewelry were found in some of the Ancient Egyptian tombs. Bead stringing started around 120,000 years ago.

Never using soldering to keep jewelry together, each piece is created by hand, using Wire-wrapping to join the jewelry pieces together.

The handmade clasps are made to last a lifetime. Each side of the clasp is made from one piece of heavy, precious metal wire.

The picture shares a comparison of a store-bought clasp vs Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry clasp. The store-bought clasp is a good clasp. But it is not easy to maneuver, especially for an older woman and people who have arthritis in their hands.

The store-bought clasp is very small and so it will not be seen. The Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry clasp is prominent. This clasp is a beautiful piece of the necklace that deserves to be seen. Some of the Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry clasps are smaller and/or a bit fancier.

The store-bought clasp has the ability to break due to its spring in it.

The Cyn Bergsbaken Jewelry clasp has no spring in it. It remains firm and sturdy for a life time.
