It is estimated that 19 million adults in the US are disabled in some form by arthritis. And, according to some estimates, this number is expected to rise to sixty seven million by the year 2030. Equally there are many other adults who have some form of disability in their hands and their arms. Have you ever thought of these people when you are struggling to put on your necklace or your bracelet? The traditional “lobster claw” clasps on jewelry are hard enough to manage for normal people. You must surely have experienced the frustration of trying to put on your jewellery and ending up with fingers and arms that hurt and a neck that is stiff because it has been held at odd angles. If it was this bad for you, can you imagine the plight of people for whom the process would be excruciatingly painful?
The innovation that makes it possible for everyone to put on and remove jewellery, in particular, necklaces and bracelets is called the magnetic jewellery clasp. The clasps consists of two parts, which attach each other by magnetic attraction and come apart when they are pulled hard enough to break the attraction. You do not have to have any worries about your jewellery coming apart and falling off somewhere because the magnetic bonding is strong. They are relatively inexpensive and come in both gold and silver tones so that you can choose the appropriate tone to match your jewellery. You can also get extenders that will extend the length of a necklace.
The magnetic clasps need to fit on to the ends of your existing jewellery and the appropriate connectors have to be in place. Most reputable jewellery collections, such as the Roberto Coin collection, will enable you to make the adjustment. You can also find magnetic clasps that can be attached to the existing “lobster claw” clasps on your jewellery.
