These clasps can be used as a toggle clasp or fixed on one side and used with an "S" hook on the other. Or use your imagination; I'd love to see some other people's designs with them.
Bird One: 2" or 5 cm. from beak to tip of tail. He would sit horizontally, as shown. The blue on my computer screen is darker than his actual colour, which is more a teal blue. His position gives the opportunity of setting beads or wires below him for perching or nesting.
Bird 2 is meant to sit on a slight vertical angle, so would be best in a
necklace. He's also 2" or 5 cm. long and has a bit of an antique
patina. He's very elegant in person.
Bird 3 is obviously a budgie or parrot judging from the type of beak and he has a beautiful blue patina. He would probably sit on a slight upright angle so might be best for a necklace.
Bird 4 has a patina that is aging nicely and will get darker as he gets older. Any of these birds can be cleaned up with a ketchup or lemon juice bath and rub, but it would take away some of their character.
All of the clasps on this page are for sale and the price is $13 including first class mail shipping or 2 for $23.
