Carl Clasmeyer was introduced to the world of beads five years ago. He found a ready venue for his eclectic sculptural style, creating a line of silver and gold beads in a market that thrives on originality. 

After introducing a couple of innovative clasp designs, he found the demand for clasps overshadowed the beadmaking. Presently over 50 clasp and toggle designs and over 50 more related pendants and bead designs are offered. Many more are designed and in some phase of production, soon to be on their way to the clasp starved marketplace.

The challenge of ease-of-use and a positive holding clasp has combined Clasmeyer's engineer/draftsman technical background with his humorous flair to create some functional collectibles.
