Patent attributes
A clasp for use with both a brooch and a pendant has a support piece having a tip end bent is provided on one surface of a brooch main body, and a rear end of a needle-shaped latch supported on the tip end of the support piece to be free to rotate in a vertical direction. A leg of the needle-shaped latch protrudes from the vicinity of a pivot portion of the latch, and a space surrounded at least in part by the support piece forms a chain insertion portion. When a pendant chain is passed through the chain insertion portion of the support piece, and the tip end of the latch is latched by a latch receiver on the brooch main body, a lower end of the leg abuts against or comes close to one surface of the brooch main body, thereby closing the chain insertion portion.
