Do you have trouble fastening your necklaces and bracelets? I know I often struggle trying to put on my jewelry and this has become increasingly difficult as the years go by. I recently received a new bracelet, and it came with a magnetic clasp. It is so easy to attach that I find myself reaching for this bracelet all the time.
My New Bracelet
My new bracelet is seen in the photo at the top of this article. My sister took my Mom's silverware and had them made into various jewelry pieces for Mom's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. I chose the bracelet, and it is now one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. Each time I wear the bracelet, I remember when I was young and before ever holiday meal, Mom would get out her good silver and it would be my job to polish it. It is attractive and so easy to put on and off with the magnetic clasp.
Adding Magnetic Clasps to Existing Jewelry
Magnetic clasps are a wonderful feature for anyone who has trouble using their hands, whether it be from arthritis, limited use of hands and/or fingers, a manicure, or like me just the effects of growing older. These clasps are so easy to use. You just need to lay out your necklace or bracelet to the right and left with the magnetic clasp in the middle. You can then put the item around your neck or wrist and bring the two ends of the new clasps together and the magnets will attract to each and just like that in seconds you have on your jewelry. I love having the frustration of trying to hook my jewelry together removed. Now I'm able to wear items that have been left in my jewelry box because they were too hard to connect!

ReplyDeleteWow! What a great idea. I hate have to fight the clasps on my necklaces. When did they get so tiny? I also appreciate your sister's thoughtfulness. I never considered have silverware made over into jewelry and sharing it with the family members. What a wonderful idea and many cherished mementos!
