OUR MISSION
Our mission is to eliminate the struggle of wearing and removing jewelry.
The Freedom Clasp™ offers "magnetic assistance" yet is a mechanical clasp which stays secure while worn.
With Freedom Clasp™, you can truly accessorize with ease.
OUR CLASPS
At Freedom Clasp™, we offer a complete line of clasps in various styles, sizes and metals to suit any type of jewelry.
3.5mm (BA3.5) is the perfect clasp for smaller, finer chains. Also, most pendants with a standard or large sized bail will fit over the clasp so you can swap out your favorite pendants whenever you like.
4mm (BA4) & 5mm (BA5) models are perfect for medium sized chains.
6mm (MU6) and 7.5mm (MU7.5) are perfect for larger chains.
The 7.5 is the best choice for cuban link and other larger, chunkier styles.
The 8mm "Button" (BU8) and "Pearl (PL8) models are perfect for pearl and beaded jewelry.
The "Button" has a flat surface and the "Pearl" offers a sphere shape design.
The Pandora Replacement Clasp (PR) is specifically designed to make wearing your favorite Pandora bracelet easy to wear. This clasp comes with a set of pliers so you can easily swap out your existing Pandora clasp yourself.
CONCEPT
Originally conceived as a solution for those with dexterity issues, the Freedom Clasp™ design pushes the current standard of the jewelry industry forward with its state of the art design. The Freedom Clasp™ is offered in multiple finishes, styles and sizes.
The Freedom Clasp™ was the collaborative effort of Jeweler Sonny Burgoon and Inventor William Duncan. As a 30 year veteran of the jewelry industry, Sonny saw that his customers needed a simple way to put on or take off their jewelry quickly and unassisted. The design team sought to create a clasp that is easy to fasten and remove and will not release until the wearer is ready to take off their jewelry. The clasp is designed to withstand all the daily pulling and tugging of normal wear without inadvertently releasing.
HOW IT WORKS
At a quick glance, The Freedom Clasp™ may look like an ordinary magnetic clasp, but looks are deceiving.
The patented self-aligning design of the the Freedom Clasp™ relies on tight tolerances with a geometric design achieving a near complete interference fit regardless of external forces placed on it until the wearer is ready to take off their jewelry. The clasp also incorporates a neodymium magnet to effortlessly join the clasp halves together for ease of use. The revolutionary clasp has the holding strength for the rigors of everyday use but can easily be removed with a simple twist or the flick of a fingernail.
INSPIRATION
In an effort to help an elderly customer suffering from arthritis, Sonny believed there had to be a way to craft a new type of clasp which would do three things:
1. Be easy to put on and remove (unlike most clasps).
2. Offer strength to endure normal wear (unlike magnetic clasps).
3. Offer his client(s) the ability to apply and remove their jewelry THEMSELVES, without assistance.
"This clasp has given me SO much freedom! I can now wear my jewelry without
depending on others to put it on or remove it." - Mary Ellen Cavalieri, Client of Diamond Collection for 18 years
After trying an array of traditional clasps, Sonny's customer emotionally and defeatedly said "You may as well just sell my jewelry for me, because I can not put it on myself." Sound familiar?
Determined to find a solution, Sonny, with the help of inventor William Duncan, designed what has evolved into The Freedom Clasp™. Sonny recalls the following morning, finding his customer waiting for his shop to open and exclaiming: "Because of you, I can wear my treasured jewelry again. This clasp has given me SO much freedom! Thank you!"
At Freedom Clasp™, we strive to offer the same independence to any individual facing similar difficulties, the freedom to apply and remove their own treasured jewelry. This inspiration has resulted in a new line of clasps that will enhance the functionality and ease of use for all jewelry requiring a clasp.
