043C1DCF-C6BB-4B3A-8CDA-607E0E23D6F4.jpeg Can anyone give me some advice on safety clasps for a tennis bracelet?
I’m thinking of ordering from either Whiteflash or BGD and have asked if they can source a four prong setting as I think that’s my preference.
Whiteflash have sent me a photo of the setting they can order but it looks like it has a different style of safety clasp than I’ve seen before. This one seems to have a bar which clicks under the setting. I’m more familiar with the ‘wings’ that click in either side. Sorry my terminology is rubbish!
Does anyone have this style? Are you happy with it?
I’ll attach the photo they sent as my descriptions aren’t great I know.
 
2A26B153-0FA3-4DD9-86A3-96D169AE6B44.jpeg Here’s mine. It has a wing clip on the side, I’ve seen them with two ie one each side. What I loathe however (on my bracelet) is the clip - that “lump” catches on everything and over the years (and multiple snags) it has slightly deformed the clip - now not straight.
 
Thanks Bron357, You have a gorgeous bracelet.
I wonder if the snagging issue is true of many of the wing style clasps. I plan on wearing this piece all the time do would like to avoid one that snags on everything.
 
WF clasp is very secure, imho, and no snagging. The bar sits almost flush and locks into the clasp.
 
I hVe no trouble with my WF clasp but the one on the second picture got caught on everything I wore.
 
Thanks jimmianne and aprilbaby, that's reassuring. I'm buying from Australia and so want to get it right first time. I just hope I'm getting it right, I'm still nervous about which ct weight is best for me.
I'm veering towards 6ct which I hope will be not too big for everyday wear with school drops off etc and just blingy enough.
I need to go through all the threads to see the real life perpectives again.
 
MY IDJ bracelet has the "snap" on both sides. My last one fell off - albeit after 12 years!!!!! This ain't going anywhere!

I’m from Australia too. Mine was bought from the US years ago now. I think it’s 4 carats total. I chose this design with the bars in between because it meant I got bigger individual diamonds and a different look from the norm.
