Anyone Know Where To Find This Odd Clasp?

I've searched all the interwebs I can, and I've found swirl clasps, but none like this. Wife wants me to make her a bracelet with this clasp or something extremely close. Any ideas?

Looks like body jewelry, like an ear gauge? These look pretty close anyway.

I think WinterBear is right. If you look through the rest of the items that seller has, you can see that there are several others adorned with things normally found plugging up the superfluous holes someone into body modification might typically have.

Yes that is definitely an ear ring. My sons tattoo shop sells all kinds of those. You can most likely get them at any tattoo shop or body piercing shop.

Also, thanks for posting that link, I now have another idea to work with...and a ready supply of clasps...

Beaverslayer, you could market them as multiuse jewelry in with your son's shop, right? When they get bored with the cuff, they can pop the clasps out and put them in their ears.

Thanks also for the link footrat. It has given me a really neat idea on how to address a clasp for a small bag. And there are a lot of neat gauges in differing styles in steel, bone and horn out there that I might fool around with now and see what I can come up with.

Thanks, guys. I wouldn't have ever thought to look in that direction. That is a clever use of that hardware, though.
