Adaptors
Lengthen your necklace and create a unique showstopper with these gold and steel adaptors. Choose two clasps and simply connect one to each side of an adaptor then close as usual to create the perfect length necklace. In future no necklace need be too short, no neckline too tricky.
Alternatively choose our one sided fluted adaptors for a flourish of added glamour.
Clasped is a range of fine gemstone, pearl and precious metal necklaces handmade in Dublin by goldsmith Eva Dorney.
Clasped represents a new innovation in the Irish jewellery, which allows you to customise your necklace by introducing a different clasp to suit your outfit, your mood or the occasion.
The system works using a tiny bayonet fitting (like you'd see in a lightbulb only much much smaller) so that with a push and a quarter turn one clasp can be removed and another introduced. Worn to the front, the clasp is both the closure and the feature of your necklace.
Your first clasp and strand is the beginning of a collection that will grow over the years and with each new addition, be it a strand or a clasp, the potential combinations multiply. Meantime, existing beads can be restrung with the interchangeable system, eliminating the need to double up on classics like pearls, while adding a modern twist to proceedings.
You can shop the range online at Clasped.ie or you can call in person and play with the hundreds of possible combinations at our Dublin showroom.

With its bayonet on one side and receiver on the other this gold plated silver adaptor provides an additional flourish of interest between any clasp and necklace.
Available in two different sizes this adaptor makes any necklace combination a little more glamorous. The 14mm adaptor pictured here with a chrome diopside multistrand necklace connects directly to the necklace on one side and to the green agate clasp on the other. The clasp then closes the necklace in the usual manner.
Adaptor also available in silver.
