- What size cord or chain fits these clasps?
- The ring has a 1.5mm hole, so it takes thin cord, thread or fine chain up to about 1.5mm. Thicker leather or large chain links will not pass through.
- How strong is the magnet?
- These are small fold-over clasps meant for lightweight jewelry and crafts. The magnet holds a bracelet or necklace closed but can pull apart under a firm tug, so avoid heavy pendants.
- What are the clasps made of?
- They are brass with a golden finish. Brass can darken or tarnish over time, especially with skin contact and moisture, so store pieces dry.
- How do fold-over clasps work?
- The two halves meet and the magnet holds them shut, then the tab folds over the joint to cover it. You open it by folding the tab back and pulling the halves apart.
- What is the total length?
- Each clasp is about 31mm long overall, with a 19.5x8x5.5mm clasp body and a 16.5x13x2mm ring.
- Are these good for heavy necklaces?
- No. The small magnet and thin ring suit light bracelets, necklaces, lanyards and keychains. For heavy pieces, use a lobster claw or a stronger clasp.
