First, let's get this out of the way:
“WARNING: PEOPLE WITH A PACEMAKER SHOULDN'T WEAR MAGNETIC JEWELRY! PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE WEARING MAGNETIC ITEMS.”

These magnetic clasps are SUPER strong! I have been using this type for the last five years or so in my own creations with excellent results!

These clasps are made of high-strength magnetic material and are very simple in appearance which makes them HIGHLY versatile for use in men’s as well as women’s jewelry items. It should be mentioned that some people are sensitive to the materials in these "bare" clasps because of possible nickel content. If this is the case, use the plastic-coated clasps that I also have listed.

[S H A P E]: Cylinder/tube

[C O L O R] Gunmetal Gray (dark silver)

[F I N I S H]: Shiny

[M E A S U R E M E N T S]: Approximately 4.5mm X 4mm with a .75mm hole and a 1.5mm hole (on opposite ends)

*This is a very hard-to-find size and I have very few of them left. I'm not sure I will ever be able to get more.

[T Y P E]: Single-strand

You can see how magnetic clasps are used by checking out the anklet and bracelet sections of this shop.

You will notice in the pictures that there is a hole drilled through the clasp with a larger hole (1.5mm) on one side and a smaller (.75mm) hole on the other. The sides with the larger hole go together to close the clasp.

To attach the clasps to your work you can use stringing material, wire wrap, nylon monofilament, fiber, etc, as long as the crimp, not, bead, coil, end, is large enough to fit inside the larger hole but not through the smaller hole. I have used large crimps, a small bead, and even a lighter to "ball up" nylon monofilament line.
