    In essence, there are many variations but box clasps all have a
    couple of things in common: a box or housing with a ledge that
    catches the end of a spring-like tongue, when inserted into it.  

    Complete descriptions along with close up photos of two variants
    appear in my book, Professional Goldsmithing: Chapter 18 (Box Clasp)
    and Chapter 19 (Cylinder Clasp). 

    Also, Tim McCreight will be teaching a weeklong class at the Revere
    Academy in April, here in San Francisco. His class entitled, "Click,
    Snap, Swivel: A Survey of Jewelry Mechanisms," will cover many
    related topics.

    Hope that his helps, Alan
