For some necklaces, I have to turn them around so I can see how to clasp it anyway. I think what's more important is being able to get it off and on easily. I never give thought to clasp placement. Maybe some people wouldn't even have noticed. But if it was a goof, they should have sent it back anyway.

Maybe it was designed for left-handed people, like some can openers.

RE bracelet clasps, well, there are different ways to put on a bracelet. And, two wrists to choose from.

I'm beginning to think that people just like to complain. All. The. Time. About everything.

I put all my clasp bracelets on the same way, on the same wrist, and this one was backwards. I would not have returned it just for that, but I decided that it was just not worth what I paid for it, so back it went. I am much more picky these days and have vowed to not buy on impulse anymore. Regarding the OP, at least Lisa pointed out the flaw, then people can decide to buy it or not.

I just returned a Steel By Design bracelet that was impossible to close. Not only was the bracelet too stiff to hold with one hand and and clip with the other but the ""pull"" on the clasp was upside down. Called CS and they said they'd refund my return shipping so I sent it back. There's no excuse for poor manufactured jewelry. What the heck happened to the ""Q"" in QVC?

Are they still trying to sell this stuff as ""real"" jewelry?

And you are including yourself in this assessment, I assume???

I'm pretty sure all the left-handers are all and "now you know how we feel about every necklace ever! Boo-hoo about your one wonky necklace. "

I don't know what piece this is, so I have no idea if this would work, but when I get a pendant with a clasp like that, I slide the chain out and re-insert it the other direction.

If it bothers you, don't buy it. But if so many left-handed people can adapt to the many right-handed necklaces out there, it seems like it shouldn't be impossible for the right-handers to manage it.

I didn't even know there was a 'right' side.

I put my chains on any old way, I don't think it makes a difference which side has the clasp.

I am right handed. I cannot put a necklace on where the clasp is on the left side, meaning I have to open the clasp with my left hand.

how different we all are! I'm right handed and I don't have the slightest difficulty opening a clasp with my left hand. I can't imagine what's hard about it! How funny!

I think we must just get used to doing things a particular way and then we can't adapt. I bet I have a preference in some other area that you'd have absolutely no issues with!

Anyway, I'm going to pay attention to my necklaces now to see if there's usually a 'right' side that the clasp is on. I must be the least observant person!

The item referred to in this thread is J288274 GILI for Bronzo Black Spinel Necklace. It is a "fixed" chain attached to crescent shape black spinel. Sure enough, the photo shows clasp is on the left side but not mentioned in the written description.

Wow,that's really bad business.

I'm a lefty and I just flip over necklaces to clasp them. They usually have a swivel clasp and that's helpful. IMO, it's no big deal which side the clasp is on. Bracelets are sometimes a bit more difficult so I sometimes use a "Bracelet Buddy."
