How to wear your greyhound lock...

In case you wonder how to wear your greyhound lock these examples might appeal to you...

First some examples of the clasps that are attached to the greyhound lock and how it looks when it is attached to a chain....

Silver Single Lobster Clasp


Silver Double Lobster Clasp


Silver Double Luxe Clasp


The turquoise and petrol metallic leather are from Ingrid_wd on DaWanda and fits Trollbeads.
The black leather is a Thomas Sabo leather (2009), only a few Trollbeads fit this leather.

And not to forget... thank you Brightonbelle for the idea of attaching these musketon-type clasps!

Soooo beautiful!

Great find Samug and yes agreed.... well done BB for the idea of the Musketon clasps...

Where can the Musketon clasps be found? Smaug and BB you both deserve a boatload of thanks. Great Job

Likely your jeweler may have similar clasps. These came from my jeweler and when you have no lock yet you can opt to order one and have it modified this way....

Love it Sita!! thnx for sharing!

Beautiful. I love the turquoise leather. Nice that Trollbeads will work on it.

Hi Sita,

very nice photos

I'm very surprised, what you made with my letherbands

Hi, arielle! Nice to see the artist here. Sita does have a good eye for things, doesn't she?

It looks stunning like this!

I really adore that combination with the Musketon clasps . Are they easy to add to the GreyHound lock?

Thanks girls for your hard research work! I really like the Albert style swivel clasp on the turquoise leather..

Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I just got mine and am anxious to find the clasps to attach mine to a bracelet.

Sita, I have been searching forever for a braided leather for TBs, Thank you for finding them. Is your greyhound detachable on the Turquoise leather?

@Carla, the Greyhound lock on the Turquoise leather bracelet is attached by 2 "Musketon" clasps, so it can be be detached from both ends. (I know these clasps as Albert swivel clasps here)

Ahh.. now I have a name for these "Musketon" clasps.
I was seeing my jeweler on saturday and he told me, that these clasps are usually used for pocket watches.
He is trying to find smaller ones or remodel the bigger ones he had

I think the bigger ones would look great on leather.

It looks so lovely on those gorgeous leather bracelets. The pics of you wearing the bracelets are great, shows them off really well!

I thought I´d share the look of the pocketwatch clasps on a silver chain. My jeweler remodelled the clasps a little bit and now they fit perfect on the normal silver chain - even on the small loop.
The total lenght of the lock is 6,3 cm.

@snowy, your jeweller did a fantastic job!
I'm still waiting for mine to get done...I'm having my swivel part soldered, as this is the part that breaks quickly, I know from experience.

Wow, that is awesome. They're a bit different from the ones I can have done. Love it!

Snowy, I think I choose the same clasps! Mine is still at the jeweller's.

Love it Sita, I wish I could have done that to mine. It really gives a
much more finished look. Does it open on both ends I'm not able to
see.

Gorge, that turq leather is soooooo lovely as well!

I love the lock I had altered with these clasps

If I recall correctly your lock was shipped directly from DK to the USA?
I could ask these additional clasps from my jeweler and ship these on to you. But you could also try to get these from your local jeweler.

These clasps need to be attached to the greyhound lock as depicted above with the circles. The arrows point to the part that opens and can be attached to chains, leathers etc.

Should you wish to have a lock done like this I could either order a new lock from D4E for you and have my jeweler modify it, or have you ship your lock to me and I'll ship the (spare) one I have here ready.
