[Nfb-krafters-korner] question about clasps

[Eileen Scrivani]

I do not recommend magnetic clasps for bracelets.  I had a really good clasp 
that I put on a bracelet.  Every time I put my hand on a metal stair rail, 
or the metal hand grip getting on and off buses the magnet would pull to and 
hit the rails with full force.  It put enough stress on the beading that it 
fell apart on me.  I'd never use a magnetic clasp for a bracelet again. 
Good in concept, but has problems!
