Ever seen a clasp like this? Whatever does it mean?

[partenr]

This seems like a strange clasp. It's very primitive. I can't decide if it means that the chain is likely gold as it appears that this clasp was made via bending and shaping a soft metal. OR does it mean it's probably NOT gold since it's not a very secure system. Whattya all think

One would think but I sure can't see anything. That makes me wonder even MORE.

Looks like a Thai chain, 23K if it is. S lock is common on this type chain. If you dont want it I got room for it.

Looks to be real,but without having it tested you cant be sure.Dont worry about the clasp I have seen these on gold chains and have had many unmarked in my antique business.Check all the high spots for brassing [wear through the plating],If there isnt any ,your local jeweller can tell you without any charge.Actual goldsmith,not jewellry store clerks.Still very jealous as I wait for the snow to go.HH

Looks like the chain is heavy enough to hold that type of clasp pretty secure. It would have to be jostled a whole lot for it to come loose.
