Does anyone have a paqueño a mano necklace? I’m wondering how rosettes and pendants fit on them.

@Danimal506 here's a pic of a pendant on a gb pam

@Danimal506 The problem is for any GAH pendants with a smaller loop for pendant. I have the small GAH St Christopher medal with sapphires and I had to use a GAH ball chain because the loop is just to small to travel freely over the PaM chain.

You can see how it "pinches" on the PaM, but has plenty of room on the ball chain.

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!

@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.
