carabiner catch
Explanation:
It's the same catch that carabiners have, previously used exclusively for mountain climbing and now for everything from hanging your keys on to attaching your ipod to.

carbine clasp


Explanation:
'clasp' gets a lot more hits than a 'catch', and is, as far as I know, the usual term for that part of a pendant.
