Ahhhhh! This is one of my favorite areas of the website! We showcase our exclusive vintage clasp designs here. Searching the world over to find unique vintage cabs, crystals and buttons to include in our clasp designs is very rewarding. Please remember that the items in this section are designed by us and they are limited to the amounts of vintage items we can get our little fingers on. Once an item sells out it will be gone, and most likely gone forever. If you love an item in this section, make sure you don’t miss out. Enjoy!!

17 x 30mm loop to loop. This one is really special! We bought out a vintage German Glass component that was designed by Karl Lagerfeld - well known, top designer for Chanel. It has the KL monogram which is very well known and has been in Vogue for years. We believe that this piece was originally designed for Cuff links but we decided to set these in sterling silver single strand box clasps. You can put some Chanel Couture into your designs with these genuine Karl Lagerfeld monogramed clasps. Get them while they last. What a find!!!!!!
