My Trenza De Doce Bracelet.

Sorry but I'm at your arm turning green from the new clasp. Love the bracelet.

Well that damn magnetic clasp turned my wrist green. So they're crappy. Don't buy them.

Brian...

That's a shame - Very nice work on the bracelet - Can you not put some clear lacquer on the metal/skin contact area?

I was just thinking of putting a knot around the clasp. Maybe that will work. I don't know yet. LOL... Thanks for the idea.

That is a very nice bracelet. I think I will try to make one. I too bought some of those magnetic clasps. I had the same issue with it turning my wrist green, since the chrome coating wore off and is now copper I don't have a problem.

I know this site is in China. I have searched and haven't been able to find any manufacturers of these kinds of clasps in the USA.

I purchased the clasps from this website, you can order smaller quantities 10 - 50 sets. http://www.pandahall.com/beads/wholesale-Magnetic-Clasps/0-362-1.html?pcount=1&p1=1374. It takes about 2 - 3 weeks to get them. This link is to the stainless magnetic clasps, The magnets are pretty strong but sometimes if a braclet is too tight on the wrist and is bumped it will pop loose. I did find some that also have a twist lock. Just be sure to measuer the diameter of the braid and order the correct size.
