Magnetic Clasps

I was never sure of the best way to close a bracelet when I started making jewelry.  Bracelets can be tricky, since you've got to work the clasp one-handed.  One of my favorite purchased bracelets has a magnetic clasp, and I always thought it was genius, but I never thought to look for magnetic clasps for my own work until more recently.

And when I did it was miraculous.  I found these magnetic clasps at Beadaholique - there are a number of finishes and different sizes, etc.  They make me so happy.  They are a neat, clean finish to keep the focus on the bracelet, plus they're super easy to open and close one-handed, but strong enough to stay closed while wearing.  Definitely my favorite go-to bracelet clasp these days.
