Jewelry

I've been seeing the real gold ones on Jtv for quite a while but I never bought any, $25 was a turn off and then they were selling gold over sterling and sterling for about $12 each, I bought one in each color.  I have many pendants but I don't wear them often because I have problems with the clasps and chunky man fingers, he can't do the fine clasps for me. I'm happy that I can wear all those pendants now.  I also bought those gadgets that help you do bracelet clasps.  It took a little practice but now I can put my own bracelets on without help.  And i can wear 7.5 inch bracelets.  I always bought 8 inches beause it was easier to do the clasps.

It seems as I get older, jewelry clasps become smaller and harder to manipulate.  I have 3 or 4 gold and gemstone bracelets that I can't even get on with a bracelet buddy anymore.  And forget asking DH to help--he complains he can't see the clasps well enough to be helpful.  My New Year's resolution is to take them to my jeweler and have the clasps replaced with something more workable.

The magnetic clasps are nice for necklaces, but I think I'd rather just have easier to fasten clasps on them--less chance of loss that way.  And no way would I wear a bracelet with a magnetic clasp!
