@paris75009 said in Good Art Hollywood:

The problem is ... the loop is just to small to travel freely over the PaM chain.

Personally, this is exactly why I like the pam; it prevents pendants from sliding around too freely.

@paris75009 That’s exactly what I was concerned with. Thanks for the help

@pechelman interesting how I’m the opposite. I would get annoyed with it not moving freely!

I have the pequeno a Mano and wouldn’t put a pendant on it personally. I don’t think the clasp is strong enough. The clasp on mine will pop open randomly with regular wear so I wear the clasp at the bottom front of the necklace. It’s a bit of a delicate piece compared to the more durable clasps GAH is known for.

[pechelman]

if the clasp pops open randomly it needs adjustment. I have a few things with this style clasp and it's never popped open unless i pry at it. Even then they can be stubborn sometimes, especially in the notso or larger sizes.

@jdwaid @pechelman I have had this same issue myself. It has fallen into my t shirt a couple times.
I wonder if it is a problem associated w a specific run of production?

[pechelman]

Unknown on that front as to lot to lot variability @Anesthetist , but I do have two PAM's (one pequeno and one notso) and two model 22's, size A and AAA, and none of them pop open. I'd suggest reaching out to good art honestly. I recall @goosehd saying he also has one or two of these types of clasps without issue? Or did I make that up?

[Anesthetist]

@pechelman I dont remember tbh but I prob will. Thanks man ️️

[jdwaid]

@Anesthetist if you reach out to GAH please let us know what they say. I'll be curious if / what a repair might cost.

[goosehd]

@pechelman this clasp?

[pechelman]

nope not that one @goosehd
The ones on the pequeno and model 22 chains that look like links but snap over themselves. Maybe im remembering someone else. I know this has come up discussion before about how secure it is though, but don't recall which thread(s).

[Anesthetist]

@jdwaid I had a clasp failure on a bracelet and they covered it

[goosehd]

@pechelman sorry, but it wasn’t me.

[pechelman]

@goosehd found what i was thinking about. You were involved!

[goosehd]

@pechelman Sorry, I thought you were talking about the PAM clasp which is different than the 22 clasp. I should have read it better. In regards to the 22 clasp, I haven’t had any issues to date…and hopefully will not.

[goosehd]

…and see that 22’s have different clasps according to size. I really haven’t followed all of the iterations to know them correctly.

[pechelman]

yea, copy all of that.

The 22 is a different clasp for sure than the PAM, but it's the same principle of having a small portion of metal flex and snap around a thicker part. Afaik, all the pequeno's use that style of clasp unlike the Size A 22 which has that spring load ball.

[goosehd]

@pechelman …and mine was one of the first releases of that size for the 22’s. I don’t know if he has changed it since I purchased it.

[goosehd]

@Kasi would probably know better than I which clasp is used on what and what changes have taken place over time.
