Often this hand-clasp is wearing some kind of gem-studded bracelet or ring. Always, these antique pieces are extraordinarily expensive. For more than a year, we spent time building a piece from scratch that works reliably (durability is always an issue with old hand-clasps) and looks great with a simple gold base chain. We scrapped the first three prototypes and almost gave up on this project, but then, success! It all came together when we decided to move the closure mechanism from the hand itself to a jumbo spring ring. Everything hangs just right, and a pile of charms doesn't throw off the balance of the piece.
