Magnetic Bracelets

GRACIE — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:08:45 GMT

In my experience no matter the price, magnetic bracelets will fall off. A well design toggle clasp or lobster claw is best. If the magnetic bracelet falls off just one time, change the clasp. Are designer doing this to save money or does it cause more to use a magnetic clasp?

I agree! Everytime I wear one, it falls off. I have only lost one bracelet but will not buy any more with magnetic clasps.

I agree too - they get too banged around. I do wear necklaces with magnetic clasps that work well, but I have a san marco bracelet with one and it is always coming off.

Saving money has nothing to do with it. Older customers have trouble putting bracelets on. I have an old panther head clasp bracelet that I CANNOT get on. I have given up. There is a snake chain stainless steel bracelet that is the best magnetic bracelet I own. You do have to be a little more careful.

AND, they become demagnetized for whatever reason. I have taken bracelets out of boxes and jewelry cases and the magnets no longer worked or the glue that holds the magnets comes off or the worst is: I was trapped in my car because I had three Veronese bracelets on one wrist and reached to release my seat belt and they immediately stuck to the release section and I couldn't reach with my other hand because the seat belt was holding me back. I had to call for help to undo. After that fiasco I will never wear a necklace with a magnetic closure; I envision strangulation by magnets on the coroner's report and my demise going viral. Hopefully there will be no pictures released as proof of death!! I'll stick to old tried and true claw clasps and with my bracelet buddy never have a problem putting bracelets and necklaces on and off. This is a true story. I had left my drs. office and was in a parking garage.

I will not purchase magnetic jewelry anymore. Some of them are difficult to open and the tugging required will also eventually weaken or break the bracelet. I have also had the magnet on an enhancer literally crumble into pieces. This was one of the Q's ""jewelry quality"" magnets.

This really happened. I was wearing an expensive magnetic gold bracelet one day. I went to my PCP for a check-up and needed to slip my arm out of the sleeve for him to take my blood pressure. I drove back to work and sat down at my desk and suddenly realized my bracelet was gone!! I retraced my steps out to the parking lot and searched my car. No luck. I was so unhappy. Went home and later that night undressed to take a shower. My bracelet fell out of my bra! I couldn't stop laughing. I was relieved but then I thought...how large do you have to be before you can't feel you're carrying around something in your bra? Bizarre.

Happy Lady - some story! I've worn Hagit Gorali's pods bracelet without a problem. It's magnet is magnificent. Enclosed, easy on, never opened up by itself.

Tenners, guess we are lucky!! You didn't lose your bracelet and I didn't kick the bucket in my car. Many of us use our bras for Kleenex storage in the summer but never heard of jewelry storage. Too funny!! No one ever told me wearing jewelry could be dangerous. QVC should at least post a warning. When my doctor's. assistant went to take my blood pressure, the day of my entrapment, her blood pressure device stuck to my bracelets and she said "Would you look at that!" and we both starting laughing loudly. Never again 3 magnetic bracelets at a time. Item #J152858 (an auto delivery bracelets).

Just goes to show you, you never can predict what strange predicament a person can get into without even trying! I'm glad you didn't bite the dust in your car too. Life is so surprising some days!

I have lost two magnetic bracelets. The gemstone bracelet was over two fifty hundred dollars. That was the last one I purchase. My signature heart charm bracelet( Bixby ,Ann King, Barry Cord hearts) I wear almost everyday has a well made toggle clasp. Cuffs are nice too, as long as they are the right size.

I won't buy jewelry with a toggle clasp or a magnetic one. I've lost both.

I too have lost magnetic bracelets. It would help if they would put a safety arm on the clasp or a safety chain. I have purchased a safety chain to put on a bracelet but not all bracelets will accommodate one. The other thing is the magnet will attract silverware so they are not good for going out to eat either. I have found if the toggle and the o ring on a bracelet are in proper proportion they don't come off. Michael Dawkins is good at this, but I have had problems with some of Bixby's. I do wear magnetic necklaces and have had good luck with them.

I have not lost a magnetic bracelet, but I have lost a toggle bracelet. I now make sure all toggles are really large in relation to the hole they have to fit into.

I find I pick up a lot of silverware with my magnetic bracelets, though.

I had a bronzo Italia charm-like bracelet with a magnetic clasp. It fell off soon after I received it.

Amen...and the same goes for enhancers..what is easy on is also easy off. Especially if you live in a climate that requires a jacket or coat.

I love the ease of wearing a magnetic bracelet, but I try to be aware that I'm wearing one which some times is a pain. In my line of work, I handle a lot of files with paper clips. I look down, and I have a bunch of clips stuck to my bracelet. Plus if I get too close to the file shelf, my bracelet will stick to the shelves.

I think these responses are a hoot!! I met my husband for lunch one day and as I started eating he said ""Is this new office fashion?"" and pointed to my wrist. I looked at my wrist and my bracelet was accessorized with paper clips.... also like you kerk; wearing magnets at work can get interesting and possibly embarrassing.

Many of the newer magnetic bracelets either have a safety clasp or they have the magnet embedded deep inside of it so it is not attracted to steel. I have a magnetic Gems en Vogue (SHq) charm bracelet where the extremely strong magnet is in a barrel clasp. It doesn't react to steel and I never worry about losing it, although its fully loaded and quite heavy.
