If you have trouble with clasps sometimes, then this gadget is pretty cool. I sometimes have issues with bracelets, but not so much necklaces. The only thing is that with magnetic clasps on bracelet, you have to be careful too. Sometimes the magnet will attach it stuff to other things, like a metal grocery cart, and zippo, your bracelet is off your wrist.

But, still these are cool, especially if you have hand issues. They are available from the Home Shopping Network in both silver or gold plated:

Fastening your favorite necklaces and bracelets has never been easier, thanks to this Technibond Magnetic Clasp Extender. The short, polished extender has a lobster claw clasp at one end and small ring at opposite end. Two bell-shaped pieces fit together in the center, elegantly concealing the easy-to-use magnetic clasp within.

Technibond jewelry is crafted from .925 sterling silver that is plated with a layer of platinum or a 40-mils-thick layer of 14K yellow gold.

These would also make ultra-practical gifts. If you missed Mom's Day, think stocking stuffer.
