Abstract: A jewelry clasp includes a clasp shell enclosing a spacing, the clasp shell having a first opening for slidably receiving a first end of an elongated member; and a spring-biased push button slidably received in the spacing through a second opening, the button being slidable between a releasing state and a locking state, wherein the button has a hole for receiving the first end of the elongated member when the first end is received through the first opening of the clasp shell, wherein the push button further comprises a stopper, the stopper releasing the first end of the elongated member when the button is in the releasing state; and a magnet exerting a magnetic force which, when the first end of the elongated member includes a magnetic material, acts to pull said first end of the elongated member through the first opening and into the hole of the button.

Abstract: An ornament for being strung on an elongated member includes a shell having a cavity and a first friction element. The ornament may be arranged in an un-assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is un-attached to the shell, and an assembled configuration, in which the first friction element is attached to the shell. The first friction element has a first retaining part, arranged in the cavity when the ornament is in the assembled configuration, and a first friction part attached to the first retaining part and comprising a first gripping surface for frictionally gripping a surface of the elongated member. The ornament, in the assembled configuration, is strung on the elongated member, and is releasably secured in a first location on the elongated member. The first friction part and the first retaining part have different material and/or mechanical properties in the unassembled configuration.
