Things Every Jewelry Designer Must Know About Magnetic Clasps

Submitted On January 16, 2015

Magnetic clasps are easier to use than most other types of jewelry clasps. They open and close with the use of magnets and this allows the jewelry to be held securely in place. It is easy to put on and remove jewelry which has magnetic clasps. Anyone who is suffering from arthritis, fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome will find it difficult to use toggle and lobster clasps which tend to be too small. Even people who have poor vision will struggle with these kinds of clasps when trying to put on or remove their jewelry.

Magnetic clasps are extremely convenient for people who have limited dexterity. Jewelry that includes magnetic clasps can make wonderful gifts for children, elderly people and those who are suffering from joint problems. It takes very little effort to connect or remove jewelry that has magnetic clasps.

How to attach magnetic clasps

When it comes to attaching these clasps to your beaded jewelry, it is essential to be aware of the strength of the clasps. These clasps are available in different types and sizes and therefore the strength of the magnets also differ. Always choose a strength that matches with the weight of the jewelry you are looking to create. If you choose magnet that is too strong for your jewelry, you will risk breaking the jewelry when it is worn. On the other hand, if you choose a weaker magnet, then you will risk losing your jewelry. These clasps are easy to use in jewelry making. Here's information on how to attach them in the most easiest and effective way.

• Complete beading your necklace or bracelet and attach jump rings to both sides of the beading thread.

• Take the first part of the clasp and attach it to one of the jump rings. The other part of the clasp will be attached to the other jump ring. You can attach the clasps using a pair of pliers.

• In case you are making use of magnetic cylinder clasps, then you can finish your accessory and thread the clasp through its centre and knot its ends. The cylinder types are more suitable for lightweight jewelry items such as beaded anklets and lightweight bracelets and watches.

Magnetic clasps are available in a range of materials with the most popular being made from stainless steel and plated silver. These are available in a variety of shapes as well including rounds, tubes and ovals. They are suitable for a range of threading wires as well as leather cords. These clasps are available in many colors and their sizes range from 2mm to 9mm. To create funky jewelry pieces, you can combine them with different types of leather such as braided leather, real nappa, eco-nappa and hair-on.

CARA UNTUK MENJAWAB "BENDING STRESS"

untuk menjawab soalan Bending Stress ... 1. mesti kenalpasti bentuk beam dahulu iaitu a) Symmetrical: iaitu mempunyai bentuk yang sama atau simetri di bahagian atas dan bawah. sebagai contoh: b) Unsymmetrical: iaitu bentuk yang tidak sama di bahagian bawah dengan yang di bahagian atas. cuba tengok seperti di bawah ini selain daripada itu, bentuk L, U juga termasuk di dalam bentuk unsymmetrical 2) sekiranya symmetrical, pastikan samada beam itu jenis simply supported beam atau cantilever beams  i) jika simply supported beams:     ii) jika cantilever beams: 3) sekiranya unsymmetrical, step 1: calculate position of y dari tapak bawah step 2: calculate Ixx step 3: barulah calculate nilai stress compression dan tension dengan guna formula di bawah. Mari kita cuba selesaikan satu soalan untuk setiap kes symmetrical dan unsymmetrical. Kes 01: Symmetrical (types: cantilever beam & calculate diam...

tips for Easy Drawing Shear Force Diagram

SFD (Shear Force Diagram)? nahhhh now I give 5 steps and easy for drawing SFD almost all types of SFD correctly   kita pinjam diagram di atas dari web Mr Engineer Langkah 1 mestilah kena calculate nilai reactions bg simply supported beam. Both of the reactions will be equal. Since, beam is symmetrical. i.e., R1 = R2 = W/2 = 1000 kg..   Langkah kedua kira semua tindakan daya dengan guna equation asas pada point A, B dan C When simply supported beam is carrying point loads. Then find shear force value in sections. Shear force value will remain same up to point load. Value of shear force at point load changes and remain same until any other point load come into action. Shear force between ( A – B ) = S.F (A-B) = 1000 kg Shear force between (B – C) = S.F (B -C) = 1000 – 2000 S.F (B – C) = – 1000 kg. Langkah 3 Nahhhh boleh lah lukis SFD. amik pensel sekarang...   Nampak tak? Langkah 4 In case of simply supported be...

Time Waits for No One - How to manage your Time

Time Waits for No One - How to Manage Your Time By Cleo WhittinghamSubmitted On September 21, 2015 Who is to blame? We allow or minds to be bombarded with information every single second of the day. Media and the smartphone are the favourite culprits but the truth and reality behind that is, we have to switch the TV on, we have to open up the browser, we have to sign up to social media platforms. It's very interesting to hear many shout about the ultimate devil, Facebook, or for those who believe Twitter is for the more sophisticated among us but the cold hard facts are we love social media, we get all caught up in their webs (pun intended) and we thrive on it. Take Responsibility - Recognise your weakness muscles & give them a work out. Social media and the internet, family, work, squeezed in hobbies a bit of socialising wedged in at the weekend and we fall into bed at the end of a hectic day and our last thoughts drift to what we really want to be spending our time...
