[Jewelry making - Article 00258] - Re: [Orchid] Toggle catches for bracelets

    I have had experience on a couple of occasions with people not
    wanting bracelets because they were afraid the bracelet would fall
    off. This includes link bracelets with toggle clasps and cuff
    bracelets snug enough that they could barely put them on in the
    first place. I have never heard of one of my bracelets coming
    spontaneously undone. I am extremely skeptical as to the likelihood
    of it happening. It would be like accidentally dropping a coin out
    of your pants pocket and having it come to rest perfectly on edge.
    Theoretically possible, perhaps, but it would happen sometime after
    the hypothetical roomful of monkeys with a typewriter randomly typed
    Shakespeare's Hamlet. 

    My experience with these doubting Thomases is that nothing which I
    could show them or tell them would give them any relief; they were
    just afraid the bracelet would come off regardless of any evidence
    to the contrary, which led me to conclude that phenomenon was one of
    obsessive-compulsive ideation, and that the poorly designed,
    malfunctioning part resided not on my bracelet but rather betwixt
    their eyes and ears.
