Permanent Jewelry Clasp Device

Abstract

A permanent jewelry clasp device is provided. The device is comprised of a jewelry clasp designed to provide a secure, aesthetic fastening for jewelry items such as bracelets, necklaces, and anklets. The clasp comprises two interlocking halves forming a clasp body. The first half features a compressible V-shaped fastener that contracts during insertion into an opening in the second half and expands within the interior space to lock securely against an internal fastener, preventing disengagement. To assist with alignment, the second half may include a tapered opening. Each half includes a loop fastener for attaching to a jewelry chain. A method of use involves inserting and locking the fastener within the clasp body, followed by securing the jewelry chain to complete the assembly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A permanent jewelry clasp device comprising:
 a clasp body comprising:
 a first half comprising a compressible fastener, and 
 a second half comprising an opening and an interior space comprised of an internal fastener, the opening configured to receive the compressible fastener; and 
 wherein the compressible fastener is configured to contract inward during insertion through the opening and expand once within the interior space to engage the compressible fastener, thereby forming a permanent mechanical lock between the first half and the second half. 
   
     
     
         2 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 1 , wherein the first half is comprised of first a loop fastener. 
     
     
         3 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 2 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 1 , wherein the second half is comprised of a second loop fastener. 
     
     
         5 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 2 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 1 , wherein the compressible fastener is comprised of a V-shaped fastener. 
     
     
         7 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 1 , wherein the internal fastener is comprised of a post. 
     
     
         8 . A permanent jewelry clasp device comprising:
 a clasp body comprising:
 a first half comprising a compressible fastener, and 
 a second half comprising a funneled opening and an interior space comprised of an internal fastener, the opening configured to receive the compressible fastener; and 
 wherein the compressible fastener is configured to contract inward during insertion through the funneled opening and expand once within the interior space to engage the compressible fastener, thereby forming a permanent mechanical lock between the first half and the second half. 
   
     
     
         9 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 8 , wherein the compressible fastener is comprised of an x-shaped fastener. 
     
     
         10 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 8 , wherein the internal fastener is comprised of a concave receptacle. 
     
     
         11 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 8 , wherein the first half is comprised of first a loop fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 11 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener. 
     
     
         13 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 8 , wherein the second half is comprised of a second loop fastener. 
     
     
         14 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 13 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener. 
     
     
         15 . The permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 8 , wherein the clasp body is comprised of an additive comprised of a finish or an engraving. 
     
     
         16 . A method of using a permanent jewelry clasp device, the method comprising the following steps:
 providing a permanent jewelry clasp device comprised of a clasp body, a first half with a compressible fastener, and a second half comprising an interior space and an opening;   aligning the compressible fastener of the first half with the opening of the second half;   inserting the compressible fastener into the opening by applying inward pressure to compress the fastener during insertion;   releasing the pressure to allow the fastener to expand within the interior space and engage an internal fastener within the interior space, thereby forming a secure mechanical lock; and   and attaching a jewelry chain to the first half and the second half.   
     
     
         17 . The method of using a permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 16 , wherein the first half is comprised of a first loop fastener. 
     
     
         18 . The method of using a permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 17 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The method of using a permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 16 , wherein the second half is comprised of a second loop fastener. 
     
     
         20 . The method of using a permanent jewelry clasp device of  claim 19 , wherein the loop fastener is comprised of a swivel loop fastener.
