I've seen magnetic clasps on the CG site and wondered whether it's possible to get magnetic earring backs [and fronts]. I did a search on google and just found finished magnetic earrings. I've had a lot of folk ask me if I do earrings with buttons for non-pierced ears and when I said I was looking into using magnets, people got really excited and said they'd keep an eye on my site etc for when I did get round to making them.

So I wondered if I could just use normal small magnets that I know I can buy in bulk, or do I need to get specials ones for jewellery use - where would I get them from?
