Some clasps etc. were developed in Europe and only introduced in North America years or even decades later. </p><p>And some Asian and (North) African jewellery makers still use c-clasps on brooches, old style fixed shepherd hooks for earrings, etc. Limited resources limit the availability of techniques.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
