Albert swivel clasps tend to be on the
larger, side and were named after Prince Albert who was consort to Queen
Victoria in 1837 – 1901. They were designed to go on the end of pocket watch
chains, to enable the wearer to bring out their watch and look at it without
the attached chain getting twisted and tangled.
They are quite unique in their design and
are a great choice for functional objects such as key rings or bag charms,
where full manoeuvrability is essential. Be careful though, as many ‘swivel
clasps’ are sold with a fixed top and don’t actually swivel – so you need to
read the details carefully before purchasing. Sizes in our range vary between
13mm – 29mm, and are available in sterling silver, 9ct gold and bronze which
means there are plenty to choose from.
