A clasp for use in attaching two body members together, especially pieces of jewelry, that provides secure attachment. The clasp includes a receptor member having a surface defining a slot and a connector member having a shaft, where the shaft is removably positionable in the slot to releasably connect the connector member to the receptor member. The connector member is moveable from an upright position where it can be inserted and removed from the receptor member, and a second, or seated, position, where it is resiliently restrained by the receptor member. The interaction between the connector member and the receptor member creates a connection that is not easily unintentionally released.
