= Magnetic Clasps = A magnetic clasp is a locking system used as a chain lock instead of conventional locking systems. Magnetic closures provide the wearer with the greatest amount convenience. The magnetic force makes closing and opening the closure extremely easy and offers the greatest possible security. Magnetic clasps are available in numerous shapes, colors and variants. There are many different methods of processing the magnet. They have in common is that a permanent magnet is used. During processing, care must be taken not to demagnetize the magnet.

Variants
Capped magnetic clasps - Restricted shaping and stone trimming is only sparsely possible. Air and waterproof, the magnet is protected by a metal plate in case of faded / capped closures, so it can be assumed that the lifespan is long.

Sealed at the edges - Badly galvanized magnets and "low-temperature solder" can corrode and the buckle bursts from the inside. For welded magnetic clasps, no clean round balls are possible during shaping (more oval).

Sealed, glued, and partly welded edges

Moisture can penetrate behind the plate or under magnet, as a result, the magnet can corrode and the clasp bursts open.

Glued galvanized magnet

a.) without additional anchoring

b.) with additional mechanical anchoring / socket

In these constructions, the "galvanic coating" can get hairline cracks and thereby burst (magnetic crumbles)

Advantages of magnetic closing
Security

If chains are subjected to a jerky load, they would break, break up into pieces and be lost. By proper choice of the magnetic force, the shutter first releases before the chain is damaged. Convenience

The magnetic buckle provides the wearer with an extremely high level of comfort. The closure closes by magnetic force practically by itself. The closing of a magnetic clasp is always an eye-catcher, which refines the jewelry especially.

Optics

A magnetic clasp offers the possibility of not letting the optics tear off during closure. The closure integrates into the overall design of the chain.
