The fasteners for chain-type accessories can be easily removed when needed, and the magnetic force is not transmitted to the surrounding area on the magnetic surface where it is not originally needed. This prevents magnetic clasps from attracting each other when multiple chain-type accessories are displayed side by side on display shelves, etc., and also prevents magnetic clasps from attracting to bag fittings when a hand is placed in a bag. [Solution] A
fastener for a chain-like accessory is provided with a pair of magnets 2 at the fasteners at both ends of the chain 3 of the chain-like accessory, and the surfaces other than the joining surface 2a of the magnets are surrounded by a magnetic shielding material 4. The magnetic shielding material is made of iron,
permalloy,
sendust, or
silicon copper, and a gap 5 is interposed between the
magnet and the magnetic shielding material.
