Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Lobster Clasp and Chain

A close-up view of a jewelry component featuring a lobster-style clasp and attached fine cable link chain. The item is constructed from 925 sterling silver, as indicated by the '925' purity hallmark, and has been finished with a yellow gold plating (vermeil). The clasp body is stamped with the maker's mark 'DBJ' and the secondary mark 'THAILAND', signifying its origin of manufacture. The construction utilizes a classic trigger-mechanism lobster clasp with a high-polish finish. The jump rings connecting the clasp to the chain appear securely soldered. The chain is a delicate cable style with uniform oval links. Condition-wise, the item shows minor surficial wear and light micro-scratching consistent with gentle use. There is a slight darkening or patina in the recessed areas of the hallmarks, which is typical for silver jewelry. The gold plating appears mostly intact, though slight thinning may be present at high-friction points such as the jump ring junctions. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-quality mass-produced jewelry from the modern era (late 20th to early 21st century).
