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).

@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.

[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.

[pechelman]

@goosehd the one i have from the 2nd? release has the same clasp on the 22 A

I have mess around with quite a lot with pendants.
Been a lot of changes even the new curb chains are different in looks. You can’t hook clip 7 unless your curb size A chain is made before 2021.

Model 22 necklace, had it in my hands, knew right away it’s weak for me.

Just read through putting pendants straight into chains. Nothing new to me already what will work.

I stay away from those designs. You all talking about.

Even have ball chains, to weak snap 2 already.

My favorite are curb size A and C and Sin Fin AA

So here an example what I do. Never a problem with any pendant even the model 10 which is very wide at the top.

I’ve always had an issue with my 2A curb chain coming open. The clasp randomly opens and I’ve dropped it on a few occasions… It would be awesome if they can fix this issue.

@Danimal506 My clasp on my A curbchain bracelet has mysteriously opened a few times. It is probably catching on my shirt or jacket cuff. One time I was reaching into the fish section of the supermarket the bracelet fell into the cooling system - I was freaking out, but found an employee to open it up and retrieve my bracelet.

I have never had a problem with the clasp on my A curbchain necklace. I also have never had a issue with the PaM, but I have a long chain that I just lift over my head, so the clasp gets very little wear and tear. It is currently a pretty tight fit.

I prefer the model 10 on my wrist, it never pops open under my jackets. a

@jdwaid

The Pequeno clasp is pressure fit, which logically would naturally become looser with use because you are repetitively bending metal with every open and close (even though that bend is very tiny). Properly fit it should hold any pendant.

Any local jeweler should be able to tighten this while you wait.

If you're handy, you could easily do it yourself with some pliers, but you'd need non-marring pliers to keep from scuffing it up. I've tightened other types of pressure fit clasps at home several times. There's no magic to it. You just squeeze it a little at a time until it fits how you want.

[jdwaid]

@Go-For-Chill makes sense. Thanks bro

[Danimal506]

@paris75009 yea I guess it’s time for an upgrade haha
