    While this might be an occasional contributor the basic explanation
    is far simpler. Gravity. On average the section of the clasp on a
    necklace is simply heavier than any other equal length portion of the
    chain. 

    With your 7" extension, when you have two equal weight clasps each
    hanging on opposite sides of your neck they balance each other out
    much better and take far longer to migrate one way or the other due
    to other unbalanced frictional resistances to the movement.
