For example: A design that includes butterflies, I use a butterfly shape clasp. I have cat ones, flower, dragonflies. You can pretty much get them of different shapes, sizes or sometimes if it is going to be a plain, cheap piece I will just use the usual lobster claw or other type of hook but if I want to fancy it up I use one of the other ones I have in my collection. That way if for some reason your necklace gets turned around people think that your clasp is actually part of the necklace (maybe even a pendant piece), I get alot of compliments on my pieces so obviously it works.
