safety clasp

Jewelry locking mechanism

A safety clasp is a fastening mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening, typically on jewelry like bracelets and necklaces.

It usually involves a secondary latch or fold-over catch that must be deliberately released before the main clasp can open: The bracelet's safety clasp kept it secure even when she caught it on her sleeve.
