What's All the Fuss about Neodymium Jewelry?

A unique twist on a popular idea, neodymium jewelry uses no clasps, and no strings. The only thing holding it all together are the ultra-strong magnets themselves.

Neodymium magnets have been used in industrial applications for years where high strength and light weight, small volume magnets are required. Known as rare earth magnets, they're often used in products you may already own. Some examples are computer hard disks, microphones, professional speakers, headphones, and guitar pick-ups.

Over the last few years, magnetic jewelry makers have been designing unique product lines around neodymium. In several ways, these strong but light weight magnets are perfect for this. Most people are very attracted to the unique look and design.

With a nickel coating, these magnets are surprisingly strong and bind to each other so that the jewelry requires no strings. They do not need a clasp, and can be opened by separating any of the connecting magnets.

One unique feature that results from this design, is that it can be easily resized by adding or removing pieces. This makes them both flexible and fascinating as anklets, bracelets, or necklaces.

The nickel coating holds up much better than either gold or silver plating, and gives the jewelry a silvery shine with an industrial look. This makes them elegant, classy, and modern all at the same time.

The end result of all of this is that you have an ultra-strong but relatively light weight modern but classy piece of magnetic jewelry. And, neodymium jewelry is fun and quite the conversation piece.
