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!!
