    I saw several jewelers at SOFA Chicago using a manufactured clasp
    system I would really like to get my hands on, and I'm hoping someone
    can help. I was told it is German. There is a very small "tongue"
    with a bulbous end that inserts into a hole, compressing a spring. It
    stays in place with a slight twist. It was used at both ends of
    various decorative clasps, usually cylindrical, so that they could be
    used interchangably on assorted strands of pearls or other necklaces.
    It is small, easy to use, attractive, classy. Anybody have a clue?
    Thanks!
