Clasps - Silver Coloured (Base Metal)

A base metal core, often nickle or "white metal" (an alloy, usually involving tin), and plated with silver. Some silver items are plated with Rhodium, a durable, shiny silver metal. Others are Pewter - a softer, more muted look. (The pewter contains no lead.) For Sterling Silver, go here.

Magnetic clasps are easy to use - but be careful on bracelets as they can snag on something (like a coat sleeve) and get pulled off and go missing. They are great on security ID badge lanyards, as they will break away if they are grabbed. (And not put the wearer at risk.) But keep them away from the magnetic stripe! They should not be worn by people with pacemakers.
