This clasp is called a Trombone Clasp, also known as a Push-pull safety clasp. This design is frequently found in French and European jewelry, and it was widely used in the 1940s. Even vintage Chanel pieces feature this type of clasp! Take a look at the brooches you might have – do any of them have this mechanism? I think it's a wonderful design 😊 *Please note that this is a vintage piece, not a brand-new item.
