What types of clasps come on gold necklaces?

Three of the most commonly used clasps on necklaces are the lobster clasp, barrel clasp, and toggle clasp. Lobster clasps are named such because of their similarity in look to the claw of a lobster. This type of closure offers very reliable closure. The barrel clasp is made of two ends that look like barrels and screw together to connect the two ends of the necklace. Finally, the toggle clasp has a loop on one end and a bar on the other. The bar is threaded through the loop.

Lengths of necklace chains sold on eBay

Most necklace chains are between 16 and 22 inches, although they can be as long as 30 inches. Generally, men's necklace lengths are at least 18 inches because men's necks are often slightly thicker than women's. A 16-inch chain on a woman will rest right around the clavicle bones, as will an 18-inch chain on a man. From there, a 24-inch chain will rest a few inches above the heart on most people, and a 30-inch chain will rest at about where the heart is on most wearers. Shorter chains might be available for children.
