<p>A method of forming a jewelry clutch (10) includes the steps of molding an inner gripping piece (12) from a substantially solid, elastomeric, thermoplastic material and forming a plastic outer casing (14) having an opening (34) at one end thereof around the gripping piece (12). The method further includes the step of inserting an elongated stud or post (16) into the opening (34) in the casing (14) so that the post (16) penetrates through the gripping piece (12) to form a substantially resealable opening therein. The clutch (10) formed by the method can be installed on the post (16) or stud of a jewelry item so that the stud passes through the opening (34) in the outer casing (14) and is received in the resealable opening in the gripping piece (12) to releasably retain the post (16) in the clutch (10).</p> |
