WHY ARE THEY SO EXPENSIVE?? $90 for a 2 gram piece of silver. may as well go to the pawn shop buy a necklace and swap the clasp over. anyone know where to buy parrot clasps wholesale? i need 5 or so of them. 10mm/18mm
Have you got a Michael hill around your area? When I worked there clasps were very reasonable and so were O rings
I'd also recommend a pawnbroker based here in Brisbane - they're very good to do business with face to face. Try CitiGold - http://www.citigoldaustralia.com.au Note that these guys are in no way related to Site Sponsor City Gold Bullion - its a completely unrelated business!
sadly im in Perth. im cannibalizing a chain from my collection and ordering some replacements from AEmetal that site is very decent. i went around the pawn shops in perth today. half of them are closed. the other half are out of silver. damn shame.
Precisely, there's something of a class distinction between pawnbrokers and bullion dealers... never a more obvious example!
I'm in Perth. Have some 925 handmade clasps, that may work. Some stock and some more styles/Ltd also. Also selection of beads. Some Pendants, chains and bracelets too. Will do at present replacement A$2.45/gm (so as shown 1.0gm, 2.4gm, 3.5gm & 2.3gm) PM if these would work for you. Cheers Aum
I've lost a very important gold pendant because of one of those hook clasps seen above. Never will one of those hook clasps grace my body again.
