Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... I'm going to give this answer to everyone....

26) I’m double protection on one end, to be clasped by the other. What am I?

The answer is "Split Ring"

A split ring is a jump ring doubled that has to be split with a tool to be put onto jewelry. Once it is in place it is "double protection so that the clasp will not loose its grip.

:::;; gracefully I curtsy, and humbly I accept all you kudos!:::::: blushing cause I'm not used to praise::::

I can't take all the credit. I used to do Tupperware part-time. I learned through them that people like prizes. The hostess is gonna win either way... but, the people who take the time to attend and make that party awesome need to be rewarded.... I brought that kind of thinking to Listia... and there you have it!
