Abstract

The present invention is an improved jewelry clasp. In particular, the present invention is directed to a jewelry clasp that allows for stringing objects but secures strung objects when removed from a user's neck. A preferred embodiment of the invention is a necklace with threaded ends. Each end preferably is threaded into a threaded section rotatably attached to a magnet. Each magnet is magnetically and removeablely attached to the other magnet. Thus, beads or other objects can be strung onto one threaded end of the necklace and then secured by the threaded section and clasped with the magnets.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention is an improved jewelry clasp. In particular, the present invention is directed to a clasp that secures strung objects when removed from a user's body.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Generally, a number of jewelry clasps exist in the prior art such as U.S. Pat. No. 1,410,770 (Silverman et al); U.S. Pat. No. 3,129,477 (Mizuno); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,050,276 (Pemberton). However, prior art necklace clasps can be insecure for strung objects, difficult to remove from a user, and / or difficult to string objects onto the jewelry clasped. For example, Silverman et al uses only a male and female threaded end. This makes opening and closing of the clasp difficult and does not address securing strung objects when the jewelry is unclasped. Mizuno and Pemberton disclose the use of magnets to clasp jewelry. However, these clasps does not address stringing objects and securing those objects. Therefore, an improved necklace clasp that allows for stringing of objects, sec...
