Judith Ripka Corded Magnetic Necklace

I was checking my stash of these necklaces and some of the tiny magnetic pieces are missing.  I'm trying to find those tiny pieces online, but I can't figure out what they are called or if they are made anymore.  If I can't fix them, then I can't wear the enhancers.  Any suggestions?

 

Also, would the JR enhancers fit other magnetic necklaces? 

 

Appreciate any help!

Magnets used in jewelry are usually glued in and when the glue gets old the magnets fall out. If you can measure the opening where the magnet fell from then you can buy the correct size jewelers' magnet, jewelers' glue and fix it yourself.

@SilleeMee thank you for that tip! I have a stainless steel curb link bracelet that the magnet fell out of several years ago. I didn't pay a lot for the bracelet  but I really liked so it's been in my junk drawer waiting for me to figure out whether I could get it repaired or if I should just give up and toss it.

 

Now you've given me hope that maybe fix my own bracelet.

Thanks! Do you still have the magnet that fell out?

I recommend Clear Gorilla Glue. That stuff will hold anything together forever!
