A clasp assembly is provided for securing together the free ends of opposed flexible members and includes a first coupling member that is joined to the free end of one of the flexible members and a second coupling member that is joined to the free end of the other flexible member. In the latched position the coupling members appear to be an integral part of the flexible members and impart an ornamental appearance thereto. The first coupling member includes a box element in which a transversely extending spring is located and has a pair of snap levers pivotally mounted on the sides thereof. The second coupling member includes an outwardly extending tongue element that is formed with opposed notches that are engageable with the snap levers for locating the tongue in a latched position within the first coupling member, the snap levers being pivotally movable relative to the tongue and against the action of the spring from a closed to an open position upon the application of a force thereto, for releasing the tongue from engagement with the snap levers and thereby disengaging the coupling members.
