Hello Jan:

    Toggle clasps on bracelets usually can come loose if the bracelet is
    too long, and if the bar is not long enough. Usually it is a good
    clasp when gravity is holding it in place. If the wearer is resting
    arms on a table and moving around a bit a toggle can un-hook.
    Toggles have been around for a long time and with proper instruction
    to the wearer they work good. A new "Trademarked Design" from "Scott
    Kay Sterling" makes the toggle clasp very secure. The "O" part of
    the clasp hinges on it's end and is flipped up to allow the bar to
    be place through it and is then clicked back down leaving the
    opening partially obscured so that the bar cannot come out.
