This small, round clasp works well for lightweight necklaces and bracelets. Its compact 6mm size keeps the connection discreet while still offering a firm magnetic hold.
Made from stainless steel with waterproof gold plating or plain steel finish, it resists tarnishing and corrosion. This makes it suitable for jewelry worn daily or in humid environments.
The smooth surface and rounded edges prevent snagging on fabrics. It attaches easily to chain or cord using standard jump rings or split rings, making it a practical choice for fine chains.
8mm Round Magnetic Clasp Connector – Non Tarnish Gold & Stainless Steel
The 8mm size offers a slightly larger surface area than the 6mm version, increasing magnetic strength. This makes it better suited for medium-weight necklaces and bracelets.
Available in non tarnish gold plating and stainless steel, it maintains its finish with minimal care. The plating is designed to resist fading from regular wear.
Its rounded profile blends well with both delicate and modern jewelry designs. The clasp is easy to open and close, making it ideal for users who prefer minimal effort when fastening jewelry.

The slide design ensures the strands stay aligned and untangled. Magnets inside the clasp provide a firm hold without requiring twisting or threading.
Made in no tarnish gold and silver finishes, it pairs well with both warm and cool-toned jewelry designs. It is often used in layered bracelet styles where both strands need to fasten together.
3-Hole Magnetic Slide Clasp – 20mm x 6.5mm – Non Tarnish Silver & Gold
The 3-hole slide clasp accommodates three separate strands, making it suitable for multi-layer necklaces or wide bracelets. At 20mm long, it provides enough space for secure strand placement without feeling bulky.
Its non tarnish silver and gold finishes ensure that the clasp maintains its luster over time. The magnetic mechanism allows quick connection while keeping all strands aligned.
This clasp is often used in beaded designs, where multiple strands need to stay evenly spaced. The slide function prevents twisting during wear.
4-Hole Magnetic Slide Clasp – 25mm x 6.5mm – Non Tarnish Silver & Gold
Designed for four-strand jewelry, this clasp measures 25mm in length to accommodate the extra attachments. The slim 6.5mm width keeps it from overpowering the design visually.
Its non tarnish coating in silver or gold makes it durable for frequent wear. The magnetic closure is strong enough to hold multiple strands without accidental separation.

Paperclip Chains In Stunning Finishes
Paperclip chains offer a clean, modern look that works well for necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Their elongated links make them easy to customize with charms, pendants, or beads.
They are available in stainless steel, 18K gold PVD, and silver finishes. Stainless steel options are often hypoallergenic, non-tarnish, and water-resistant, making them suitable for everyday wear.
Common Sizes & Materials

| Various | Base Metal + Protective Coating | Gold, Silver, Rose Gold | Affordable, lightweight |
Some paperclip chains are sold by the foot, allowing makers to cut exact lengths for custom projects. This is useful for permanent jewelry services or bulk production.
For gold styles, PVD coating or gold plating over stainless steel provides better tarnish resistance than standard plating. These finishes help maintain color when exposed to moisture.
Designers often pair paperclip chains with magnetic clasps or lobster clasps for secure fastening. Magnetic clasps are easier to operate, while lobster clasps offer a traditional closure.
When choosing a paperclip chain, weight, finish durability, and link size should match the intended design. Smaller links suit delicate pieces, while larger links create a bold statement.
Spacer Beads – The Finishing Touch
Spacer beads help separate and highlight other beads in a design. They add structure to bracelets, necklaces, and earrings while maintaining consistent spacing.
They come in various materials such as stainless steel, brass, and gold-plated finishes. Non-tarnish and waterproof options are ideal for long-lasting wear, especially in frequently worn jewelry.
Common Types of Spacer Beads
| Material | Key Features | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel | Durable, tarnish-resistant | Everyday jewelry |
| Gold-Plated Stainless Steel | Waterproof, no-fade finish | Elegant designs |
| Copper Alloy | Warm tone, lightweight | Costume jewelry |
Designers often choose gold spacer beads to add subtle shine without overpowering the main beads. Stainless steel options work well for hypoallergenic designs.
Non-tarnish spacer beads reduce maintenance needs. They keep their finish even with regular contact with skin and exposure to air.
For multi-strand pieces, small spacer beads can keep strands aligned and prevent tangling. They can also be placed near clasps for a clean, professional look.
When selecting spacer beads, size matters. Smaller beads (2–4 mm) work well for delicate chains, while larger beads (6–10 mm) suit bold statement pieces.
Using the right spacer bead can enhance both the appearance and durability of handmade jewelry.
Why Choose Waterproof Gold?
Waterproof gold offers durability that allows jewelry to withstand exposure to water, sweat, and humidity without losing its finish. This makes it suitable for daily wear, including activities like swimming or showering.
Many waterproof gold chains and findings use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating or solid gold alloys. These methods create a surface that resists tarnish and fading more effectively than standard gold plating.
Benefits of waterproof gold include:
- Low maintenance – less frequent cleaning required.
- Long-lasting finish – resists dulling from moisture.
- Versatility – suitable for both casual and formal wear.
When paired with hypoallergenic base metals such as stainless steel or titanium, waterproof gold components are also skin-friendly. This is important for wearers with metal sensitivities.
| Feature | Waterproof Gold | Standard Gold Plating |
|---|---|---|
| Tarnish Resistance | High | Moderate |
| Water Resistance | High | Low |
| Maintenance Needs | Low | Medium |
| Skin Sensitivity Risk | Low (with hypoallergenic base) | Varies |
Waterproof gold chains, clasps, and spacer beads are available in various styles, including paperclip chains and multi-strand designs. Jewelry makers can choose these for pieces intended for everyday use without frequent repairs or refinishing.
Selecting waterproof gold components ensures that the visual appeal and structural integrity of a design remain intact over time, even with regular exposure to the elements.

For a sleek look, they might pair gold spacer beads with a hypoallergenic stainless steel chain. This combination suits wearers with sensitive skin while maintaining durability.
Magnetic clasps make jewelry easier to fasten. A multi-strand magnetic clasp can secure layered necklaces or bracelets without tangling.
| Component Type | Key Benefit | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel Chain | Tarnish-resistant, strong | Everyday necklaces and bracelets |
