Refine your workflow at the jewelry bench with wholesale bayonet clasps from Ross Metals. Find the ideal clasp size, from 11mm to 32mm. Our stock includes standard bayonet clasps, as well as clasps with filigree, diamond-cut accents, and diamonds.
These clasps provide a secure yet stylish closure for any jewelry piece you're working on. They pair perfectly with pearl jewelry, but can work in a wide range of necklace and bracelet styles. Whether you need a dependable fastening for a piece in progress or want to stock findings for replacements and repairs, our selection covers both from stock.
As part of our wider findings for fine jewelry, bayonet clasps are a go-to for jewelers who want a low-profile finishing touch. Available in 14K yellow gold, they match cleanly into pearl jewelry of the same karat, or sit as a deliberate contrast against other metals. Strand count matters as much as size here. We stock two, three, four, five and nine-strand bayonet clasps, so you can match the clasp to the strand count of the piece you’re building.
Although these clasps lack a button, using a post and lateral pins instead, they share the same level of functionality, durability, and security as our other pearl clasps. Match the clasp's inner diameter to the chain or beads and you get a snug, dependable fit. Bayonet clasps aren't limited to pearls and beaded strands, either — they're also a popular choice for round leather cords, rubber cords, and multi-strand leather bracelets, provided the cord diameter is a match.
We ship nationwide, free on all orders above $150, and there are no MOQs, so you can restock in the quantities you actually need. See our bayonet clasps in person at our NY Diamond District showroom, or arrange in-person pickup if you're a jewelry crafter or vendor based in New York.

How Are Bayonet Clasps Used In Fine Jewelry?
Bayonet clasps are used on the pieces where security matters most. Jewelry fabricators reach for a bayonet clasp on necklaces and bracelets of real value, and we would put one on anything where a clasp working loose means losing the piece. A bayonet clasp locks mechanically, and the post and pins hold their position under pressure, which gives extra peace of mind on valuable pieces.
This is especially true for pieces featuring stones, or for pearl necklaces and bracelets where the clasp needs to be resistant to wear-and-tear. Another popular time to use a bayonet clasp is for thicker pieces where you want a low-profile clasp that blends into the overall profile of the jewelry.
Finishing a piece that is already set with gemstones? Our range includes gold bayonet pearl clasps with diamonds, in 12mm with .015ct total diamond weight and 18mm with .045ct. That way the clasp carries stones of its own rather than closing the strand in plain metal.
