Tutorial instruction on making a catch

Titanium and gold watch fold-over clasp

These fold-over clasps / catches are available commercially, but that does not mean there is never a need to have to make one which is relatively straight forward. What makes these clasps very versatile is that they can be used in chains, bracelets and watches. They are one of the strongest and most reliable catches that can be made. The other benefit is that they are easy to operate. The aesthetics of the fold-over clasp can be modified to reflect the designs of the jewelry piece as shown in the examples. However the principle of the basic making method of the catch remains the same. This leaves a wide scope for your own creative designs.
