[Jewelry making - Article 00576] - Re: [Orchid] The Strongest Magnetic Clasp

    Be careful. When I ordered rare earth magnetic clasps for my
    jewelry, they came with a little notice that they should not be used
    on bracelets of people who would be using computers--that the
    strength of the magnets was capable of compromising computer hard
    drives. I had used some from Rio that seemed to be strong, but I had
    two aunts whose bracelets were "stolen" by their cars. Apparently the
    magnets were attracted to their cars when they reached to open the
    door and they almost lost their bracelets. I ordered the rare earth
    magnets and now my teenage grandchildren play with them. I have gone
    back to the Rio clasps and put a safety chain on all bracelets when I
    use them--that seemed to be a good compromise for the convenience of
    a magnetic clasp.
