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.
