The Fascinating World of Neodymium Jewelry
by Kurt Schmitt
Neodymium jewelry is unique among magnetic jewelry in that it is both claspless and without strings. What holds the pieces together are the ultra-strong magnets.
Neodymium magnets have been used in industrial applications for years where high strength and light weight, small volume magnets are required. Known as rare earth magnets, they're often used in products you may already own. Some examples are computer hard disks, microphones, professional speakers, headphones, and guitar pick-ups.
Over the last few years, magnetic jewelry makers have been designing unique product lines around neodymium. In several ways, these strong but light weight magnets are perfect for this. Most people are very attracted to the unique look and design.
Often coated in nickel, these magnets are incredibly strong and bind to each other so that the jewelry requires no strings. They can be opened at any location and so they also require no clasp.
One unique feature that results from this design, is that it can be easily resized by adding or removing pieces. This makes them both flexible and fascinating as anklets, bracelets, or necklaces.
Coating the neodymium in nickel makes them more durable than jewelry that is gold or silver plated. This also gives the jewelry a shine and a silvery industrial look. This is a very appealing combination of classy elegance, with a modern edge.
A relative new kid on the block, neodymium jewelry is fun, classy, elegant, and modern. Compared to hematite or magnetite magnetic jewelry, it's also very strong but relatively light weight, and offers the ability to be flexible in size. This may just make it the perfect choice for daily wear.
