A clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. The user pulls back the plunger within the clasp ring and sets it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. A feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection and further ensure tight closure. Since visual acuity is not always possible, this magnetic guide is critical.

The invention has two primary claims which in manipulating a clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. This invention builds upon prior art described in the Spring Ring Patent No 267,112, Nov. 7, 1882. The first claim of this invention allows the user to pull back the plunger within the clasp ring and set it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. The second claim adds a feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection. Since visual acuity is necessary, this magnetic guide is critical.

An exemplary jewelry spring ring clasp assembly includes a ring element and a setting element. The ring element extends circumferentially about a main axis to define a ring aperture therethrough. A static segment of the ring element has an inboard face and an outboard face disposed opposingly along the main axis. A door segment of the ring element is actuatable between closed and open positions. The setting element is in fixed engagement with the static segment, and is configured to retain an ornamental element in a fixed position along the main axis so that the ornamental element visually obscures the ring aperture and the ring element from a viewpoint defined outward of the outboard face. The visual obscurement may apply to at least a circumferentially-continuous portion of the ring element, and may be due in part to optical refraction through the ornamental element or optical opacity of the ornamental element.
