  • Patent number: 11344087
    Abstract: A clasp and connection to an opposing ring. Although applicable to any clasp system, it is especially relevant to jewelry connections in necklaces or bracelets whereby the connecting rings are quite small requiring visual acuity and manual dexterity to operate. The user pulls back the plunger within the clasp ring and sets it in a locked and open position allowing the user to gain manual dexterity for guiding the clasp towards the opposing ring. A feature in which a magnetic portion of the clasp and opposing ring allows the two rings to be guided towards each other and position them for connection and further ensure tight closure. Since visual acuity is not always possible, this magnetic guide is critical.
