The Modern Elegance of Ultra-Strong Neodymium Jewelry
Neodymium jewelry is unique among magnetic jewelry in that it is both claspless and without strings. What holds the pieces together are the ultra-strong magnets.
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.
In the last few years, neodymium has found yet another use, and is becoming popular as magnetic jewelry. This is due partly to the fact that they are light weight and highs strength. In addition, they end up being a unique way to design jewelry.
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.
They're sold as a magnetic necklace, bracelet, or anklet, and are easily resized by removing or adding pieces. All of this makes them both interesting and flexible.
The nickel coating adds a protective layer which holds up much better than either gold or silver plating. The silvery shine of the nickel coating also makes for an industrial look. This jewelry is modern, but also classy and elegant.
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.
