6mm Silver-Plated Magnetic Clasp (Mag-Lok)

Great for bracelets and light necklaces, these magnetic clasps are very powerful, self-aligning, and well manufactured (NO glue assembly). They are especially good for people who have difficulty with normal clasps. It is easy to attach to a necklace or bracelet using jump rings strung through the loop in each side of the clasp. You will be amazed by how well these hold together. NOTE: Magnetic clasps should not be used with a pacemaker. Remember, when you buy your beads and bead supplies from Artbeads.com, FREE SHIPPING is available in the USA with orders of $10 or more.

Great Little Magnetic Clasps

Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Quality
"I've been using these as replacements on my mother's jewelry. They are small enough not to scream "magnetic clasp!", and yet very strong. They're great."

beware bracelet loss
Date:February 24, 2013
Pros: Size, Price, Ease of Use
Cons: not secure
Creation: several beautiful bracelets
"these clasps look so nice and are so easy to use that they were all i wanted to use for my bracelets. now i've lost two, one minute it's there and the next it's not. the magnets do seem strong so i don't know whats happening. one had wire loops that may have gotten caught on a sweater but the other was a straight pearl and crystal strand. now i;m scared to wear the others. will try to add a safety chain which may defeat the purpose of ease of use."

magnetic clasps
Date:October 8, 2012
Pros: Size, Ease of Use, Quality
"I didn't want to spend $8 on a clasp and these were the cheapest I could find. A friend gave me some from a chain craft store that I hadn't thought of going to. I'm glad I didn't. These clasps are much better. The silver finish is good quality and the magnetic hold is very strong. The craft store clasp pops off when I bend my wrist, but these hold tight!"

These magnetic clasps are Awesome!

Pros: Size, Price, Versatile, Ease of Use, Quality, Color
Other beading styles or techniques: wire wrapping
Creation: silverware bracelet
"I make silverware bracelets. I have been looking for a clasp that is easy to use, but has strength and enhances the piece by its looks. Well, this little clasp is mighty, yet is very nice to look at, plus, easy to attach to any bracelet or necklace.The price is right and I love free shipping. We will definitely purchase these little helpers again.
Thank you,

Love these Magnets!
Date:June 9, 2012
Pros: Ease of Use, Quality, durability of plating
Other beading styles or techniques: Crystal beadweave
Creation: Bracelets
"I have used other brands of magnets for my bracelets, but the silver finish wears off quickly and leaves an ugly brown color. I didn't want to do that to my customers! But I have worn the same MagLok magnet on a bracelet day & night for over two years now, and it still looks great! I always use the wire guards in sterling silver and a 2.25 inch safety chain also in sterling, because any other metal sticks to the magnets!
I won't use any other magnets now!

Mega Magnetic
Date:September 21, 2011
Pros: Size, Price, Ease of Use, Quality
Creation: bracelets
"This magnetic clasp is super strong and is ideal for persons with disabilities. The clasp virtually connects by itself! I made a bracelet for my mother-in-law who is 83 yrs old. She loves it and can easily wear the bracelet due to the type of clasp I used. It connects using one hand. Even with arthritus, this clasp makes wearing bracelets easy."

Love this practical clasp
Date:December 12, 2010
Pros: Price, Quality, Size, Color
Cons: Ease of Use
"I've bought and used both the silver and gold-toned magnetic clasps. They are quite strong and perfect for bracelets rather than struggling to attach a clasp with one hand. Plus it's small enough to blend in nicely without being bulky. Can be a little frustrating to work with since the magnet wants to attach to the pliers and any other metal findings on your jewelry. I also recommending using the little wire guards because of the sharp edges when threading your wire. Overall, though, this is a great product."

Other beading styles or techniques: beadweaving using seed beads
Creation: Bracelets
"I love these! Despite its small size, the magnet is very strong. I use them frequently when I want a clasp that is secure yet discreet. One word of advice - if you are sewing your clasp to your jewelry piece, put a small bead (size 11) on each side of the the loop or use a thread guard because the edges can cut thread over time."

"These clasps are very strong and do not intrude in your design. I LOVE them. They just click in place. They are a little tricky to work with, since they stick to your tools, but to help that I wrap the wire through them while the end is stuck to a tool I'm not currently using."
