Abstract: A jewelry clasp is comprised in part of hook and loop fastener material, such as that available under the brand name VELCRO. A piece of fastener material is glued or otherwise attached to a plastic or metal backing which acts as a first gripping member. The curved (preferably spoon-shaped) first gripping member has a circular eye-screw link protruding out from one side, which link may be tied onto or otherwise linked to one end of a standard necklace string or chain, so as to be more or less permanently secured thereto. A piece of fastener material of opposite type is attached to a generally congruently-shaped second backing or gripping member, which material and gripping member, when linked with an eye-screw to the other end of the necklace, form the second half of the clasp. The two gripping members mate together with relatively loose tolerances.
