clasps
Necklace securing mechanisms
Clasps are fastening devices that grip or hold things together—on jewelry, bags, belts, or clothing.
The word also names the act of gripping: She held him in a tight clasp.
To clasp is to fasten with such a device, or to grip firmly: He clasped her hand, She clasped the necklace around her neck.
Hands clasped in prayer or greeting press together.
