At Art/Craft shows I always have a supply of different closures available. Mainly I use hooks I’ve made. If I see someone struggling with any closure, I’ll bring up whatever solution is required. Either changing the clasp, lengthening the item or bringing out Rena’s wire bracelet helper, which I just give away. I’m sorry others haven’t listened to your concerns. My SIL has post polio and loved the magnet closure on her special charm bracelet I made. I do use Sterling chains with the spring ring that it comes with however I keep a supply of my Sterling hooks I can change out.

I have to agree. I will not buy any bracelets or necklaces with clasps.. It’s over the arm or neck with ease, or a simple toggle closure. I wind up passing up beautiful jewelry at craft shows that I would purchase, if not for the clasps that artisans keep using in their work. Sometimes I will engage in a conversation with the artisan and tell them that maybe they can find another easier solution. Others remain obstinate in continuing to use those tiny metal clasps in bracelets and necklaces.

Nancy, you’re so right – there is a HUGE population who prefer easy on / easy off jewelry. And your designs here are so striking that I imagine the first thing people think is “Wow!” – and then they discover the easy on / off features. A great collection, especially as the Fall fashion season gears up!
