[Jewelry making - Article 00225] - [Orchid] Toggle catches for bracelets

    I have a link bracelet to make and I want to use a toggle clasp. My
    client is afraid this will wiggle open when worn and cause the
    bracelet to fall.  Have any of you experience with this?  I've also
    heard from another source that toggle clasps are unreliable. I've
    looked at other types of clasps and don't find any type that I like
    the looks of (for this particular bracelet) as well as the toggle.
    If I make the bar extra long will this solve the problem? I'd really
    appreciate some expert advice from you wonderful folks in Orchid
    land. 

Jan - wishing to be with you in Tucson.
