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 employ 3 types of coatings. Nickel (center) is like a
chrome plate and is very durable, however some people have a reaction to
nickel and break out in a rash. Second is a black epoxy coating
which is discontinued because they do not wear well. They are
replaced by the Gun Metal Gray because the Gun Metal Gray coating is very
durable and customers are not reporting any reaction or breaking out in a
rash. The gun metal clasps
are a dark gray color and and are still a nickel coating. Third is a new gold plated clasp (right) which we just began offering.
However because of the increase in the price of gold, we will eventually
phase out the gold plated clasps. Two other protective coatings are silver and copper. The silver tends to tarnish too fast and copper is one we may stock in the future.
All of these clasps historically have been made of N35 Grade Neodyminium. We now offer
a High Strength Gun Metal Gray 6 MM clasp made from N40 Grade Neodyminium
that is about 20% stronger than the N35 Grade
Single Magnetic clasps basically come in 3 sizes, the small 6
MM, 7 MM or stronger 8 MM. For necklaces and light weight bracelets we
recommend the 6 MM High Strength clasps. For most bracelets we
recommend the 7 MM clasps. For anklets and heavier bracelets, we
recommend the 8 MM clasps. It is also a good idea to display
bracelets with both 6 MM, 7 MM and 8 MM and let the customers chose between the
three. If you charge more for the 8 MM clasp bracelets, you will be
surprised to see most people will pay more for the stronger clasps
6 MM Nickel Clasp
8 MM Nickel Clasp
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 Epoxy Coated 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.
