I always wondered about these when I'd see the ad. My fear is having them come apart when I would wear something precious. Can anyone testify to their strength? Bonnierose, Danita, Meredith??

I just got some of these for Christmas. The first time I wore them without reading the instructions. And they kept coming undone. That's what prompted this thread. Then I read what I should've read to begin with, and discovered the safety lock needed to be released. I wore them after releasing the safety lock and they held okay. Ladyjane,
perhaps you should give them a test run before wearing anything of great value? I don't know. But some of my jewelry have such little clasps, it takes a half hour to put them on. That's why I went this route. It's quick and easy.

LadyJane, I'm not familiar with this specific product, but what I know of magnetic clasps in general -- some are stronger than others, and sometimes they lose a little of the magnetic properties over time. The ones Bonnierose bought look good, but it's hard for me to judge from here (need to have them in my hands.) Basically -- the smaller the magnetic surface, the weaker the clasp is. So don't buy any tiny clasps unless it's for very lightweight jewelry.

Saw it on TV the other night, scared me. I would hate to have it come undone and be missing a good necklace.
