Installing
Magnetic Clasps
Return to wholesale beads
page
First we came out with the Gun Metal
Gray clasps to replace the black epoxy coated clasps, and now we
have a new high strength material for 6 MM clasp called N40
Neodyminium. That is why we feel we are the leader in magnetic
clasps for magnetic jewelry.
Below are the clasps we generally have in
stock. They are made of Neodyminium and are the highest strength
(3000 gauss) magnets available anywhere. These magnetic clasps are
generally used with magnetic hematite beads, or magnetite, beads that
average 800 gauss. While being the strongest magnetic material
available, Neodyminium is very corrosive and must be protected with a
coating such as nickel or epoxy to prevent corrosion. Unlike the
black magnetite beads, the epoxy or nickel coating will wear off with time
and the clasps will need to be replaced.

We currently only employ 2 types of coatings; Gun Metal Grey and Chrome Nickel.
We have discontinued the black epoxy clasps because they did not wear
well, and the Gun Metal Gray does a nice job replacing the Black Epoxy
clasps. The 6 MM is a clasp made special for us and it uses a
stronger magnetic material than other 6 MM clasps. We feel they are
about 20% stronger than our competitors. Because they are made
special for us, we are the only source for these stronger clasps.
Many people report problems with the Nickel plated clasps and they break
out in a rash. Interesting fact; the Gun Metal Grey do not have that
problem.
Single Magnetic clasps basically come in 2 sizes, the small 6
MM or stronger 8 MM.
For necklaces and light weight bracelets we
recommend the 6 MM High Strength clasps.
For anklets and heavier bracelets, we
recommend the 8 MM clasps.

For double and triple string bracelets, we provide double and triple hole
square clasps. The double are available in Gun Metal Gray
nickel coating. The triple clasps are also available in gun metal
nickel coating
6x6x12 MM Double Clasp
The magnetic clasps sold on this page work best with 80 lb
monofilament line by burning the end with a cigarette lighter to create a
ball that will lock in the clasp. Smaller monofilament can be used,
but the melted ball will not seat in the clasp as well and will fail
sooner. Other beading cords and wires can be use by knotting the end
of the cord, but we find this more difficult to work with and not as
reliable. We encourage you to view our instruction diagrams on
installing magnetic clasps
Clasps are are sold in groups of 5 pairs and can be
purchased online. Most orders are shipped the same day ordered if
the order is received before the post office closes. All orders are
shipped First Class Mail or Priority Mail depending upon the weight.
