Sue -

    I wonder if you are thinking of the clasp that is in the older Tim
    McCreight metal smithing book - not in the new one tho... It is a
    spiral that rises up from the brooch and sticks out sideways, where
    the point of the spiral points away from where the pin stem will hook
    into it and you hook the pin stem into the spiral? Does this sound
    like it? If so, I tried it on some brooches recently, and wasn't too
    keen on it, having a hard time getting it placed properly. But that
    might be because the actual brooch was concave, and i had a hard time
    getting the pieces to stay where i wanted them... 

Ivy
