Is there an alternative to the traditional jewerly clasps?

Magnetic Clasps

Try using one of the new magnetic clasps like the Sterling Silver magnetic clasp on your next piece of jewelry. The magnets are super strong and easy for the wearer to take on and off. They are particularly nice for people who have difficulty attaching clasps, such people with arthritis. People in certain fields (like massage therapy) must keep their nails ultra-short - so they can't open lobster clasps easily.
