What types of fasteners can I use for flat straps?

There are different types of fasteners that can be used for flat leather straps. Here are some of the most common types of fasteners:

1. Magnetic clasp: A magnetic clasp is a popular choice for flat leather straps as it is easy to use and provides a secure fastening. The clasp consists of two parts that are held together by magnetic forces. The magnetic clasp has an opening on each side into which the strap can be glued.
2. Locking screw: A locking screw is attached to one side of the flat leather strap. The screw consists of two parts that are screwed together to secure the fastener. There are small holes on the opposite side of the strap for fastening, similar to a belt.
3. Toggle fastener: A toggle fastener is another type of fastener that is suitable for flat leather straps. It consists of a round pin or bar that is inserted into a tubular eyelet to secure the jewellery. The clasp has additional end caps on each side into which the strap can be glued.
4. Lobsterclasp: A lobster clasp is a popular choice for flat leather straps as it is easy to use and durable. It consists of a small hook that is hooked into an eyelet at the other end of the jewellery. To fasten the clasp, you also need special end caps for flat straps.
5. Buckle fastener: A buckle fastener is another option for flat leather straps. It consists of a metal buckle that holds the leather strap and a pin or tongue that is inserted into the buckle to secure the jewellery.

It is important to choose the right clasp for the flat leather strap to ensure that the jewellery stays securely and comfortably on the wrist. The choice of clasp depends on various factors, such as the style of the jewellery and personal preferences. It is also particularly important whether additional sliding beads are to be attached to the bracelet and whether the sliding beads are to be exchanged.
