We’ve all stumbled into a housemate or family member’s room begging for help while holding a jewel-less wrist out in failure because we couldn't fasten a small bracelet. After plonking ourselves down and watching as the other miserably attempts to clip the piece on, frustration begins to boil on both sides.
In a world dominated by fiddly lobster clasps, untrustworthy toggles and precarious hooks, magnetic bracelets are a saving grace.
Hard to find but easy to wear, magnetic jewellery ensures your valuables remain firmly wrapped around your wrist.
The clever pieces save the wearer from the fury-inducing rigmarole of securing your own bracelet. Simply snap on and off and be on your merry way - a godsend for busy city dwellers, parents dashing off on school runs and active teens prone to losing their jewellery.
A handful of brands have cottoned onto the functionality of magnetic bracelets. Swarovski is paving the way, incorporating and championing magnetic magic via designs such as the Lucent bangle, the Dextera bangle and the Orbita bracelet. Similarly, Pandora stocks a magnetic chain to adorn with charms and trinkets - adding a personal touch to the practical piece.
The gems may not have gone mainstream just yet, but we expect it won’t take long for consumers to catch on. Suitable for all ages and genders, they remain key players in the genderless jewellery department for both kids and adults.
Feeling the pull? Discover the best magnetic bracelets below to attract attention and keep your jewellery collection secure.
