    Since asking the question about their suitability for use in a 3 year
    old's necklace, I thought better of it. If there's an element of
    doubt (and there must be for me to have asked the question) then it's
    best not to do it. I was, however, assuming that such clasps would
    not have any parts that the child could take apart and swallow.
