Magnetic Jewelry Clasps: Are They Worth The Time And Money For The Price You'll Pay?

Magnetic jewelry clasps can come in handy and be quite useful. Fashionable jewelry can be purchased with magnetic jewelry clasps, or you can purchase magnetic jewelry clasps on their own and easily attach them to jewelry you already have, even priceless family heirlooms! Relatively simple to use, the clasps are clasped to the existing ends of your jewelry- then all you have to do is get the two ends close to one another, and "SNAP!", your necklace is on: without the help of another person or the uncomfortable twisting and guessing it sometimes takes to do it on your own. Like everything else in life, magnetic jewelry clasps will have their pros and cons. One good thing is that they can be used as jewelry extenders, to make sure your necklace or bracelets hang the way you desire.

Also, they are available in silver or gold, for a relatively low price and can sometimes be found in your "As Seen On TV" aisle at the local department store. If you are a jewelry maker, you can get magnetic jewelry clasps in bulk for an even lower price through a hobby supply store. Magnetic jewelry clasps can also be especially helpful if you suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel or other debilitating hand problems.

As for cons, there is always the chance that the magnets will become weak over time, possibly making it easy to lose your jewelry if you aren't paying attention. Also, most of the magnetic jewelry clasps available are gold or silver-plated rather than actual gold or silver. It may be hard to find them in sterling or real gold- and if you are lucky enough to find them, they may be pricier than most readily available sets.

Taking the good with the bad, magnetic jewelry clasps may be exactly what your jewelry box is missing!
