Jewelry Tips: Magnetic Clasps

Magnetic clasps are great! They securely fasten bracelets, anklets and necklaces. No need to struggle with tiny clasps! No need to ask around for help to wear your favorite piece of jewelry!

Unfortunately, the magnetic clasp as been tossed aside in jewelry making because of their tendency to ruin the jewelry. It is due to their strong magnetic attraction. This attraction is stronger than the surrounding chain links. If the wearer continuously pulls on the chain to separate the clasp, the chain loops will loosen and eventually break.

It's easy to avoid this problem.
Simply slide the magnets in opposite directions until they do not touch anymore.

This very simple technique will lengthen the life of your jewelry!
