Do you know anyone that can never get their necklace open because the clasp won't work? Well this handy little project adds a magnetic clasp to any necklace so it will always be easy to open troublesome necklaces!

For an magnetic clasp converter similar to this one, you will need:

• Sterling Silver Magnetic Clasp
• 6mm Open Jump Ring, 18ga
• A simple Sterling Silver Clasp. We used a Sterling Silver 6mm Spring Ring,which is the cheapest thing to use when making this project, but you may choose any clasp you like.

*For alternate color options see the notes section below*

Tools you will need:

One or two pairs of Needle Nosed (non-serrated) Pliers for opening and closing the jump rings.

Simple Instructions:

How to make the magnetic clasp converter:

• Open your jump ring (see notes below for more information) and attach it to one side of the magnetic clasp.
• Open the loop on the bottom of the spring ring and attach it to the other side of the magnetic clasp.

How to use it:

• Attach the clasp on the necklace you are using to the jump ring side.
• Then attach the spring ring to the ring on the necklace and you're done!

Notes:

• Jump rings work best if you open them from side to side. Don't open them by making the diameter larger - that will just deform the shape of the ring and make it hard to get the ends butted up against each other.
• What if you necklace isn't sterling silver? Well we have the parts in copper too! Copper Magnetic Clasp, Copper Open Jump Ring, Copper Clasp.
• Using silver plated parts are great to use if you want to make this project less expensive. Silver Plated Magnetic Clasp, Silver Plated Open Jump Ring, Silver Plated Clasp.
• Also if you have a bracelet that is too short this is a good way to make it a little longer and make it be easier to put on.
• This clasp converter does make the piece you put it on about an inch longer
