    I often deal with this problem by having the chain or cable attach to
    the pendant element, with one side permanantly fastened and one
    functioning as the actual clasp. This helps individuals like myself
    who have a hard time reaching clasps behind their necks, and having
    the weight of the pendant permanantly fixed in its location on the
    necklace means that gravity overcomes the kinetic creep that body
    movements inevitably cause with loose chains and cables. Of course,
    this solution does't work for all designs.
