    you could try holding a strong magnet and stroking the magnetic part of the clasp in a single direction, it may re polarize the iron particles

    Thats what I was going to suggest too. Re-magnatise them with a strong magnet.

    I could be wrong, but I think they use those "neobyandiumonionbhaji" type magnets and I seem to recalll they cannot be remagnetised by simply stroking them...

    You can't heat magnets.the only way you are going to solve this problem is by lazering or PUK welding the jump ring.it's a simple job to do ,if you have the tool that is.

    A certain metals company stocks them.They are called Link Lock.
    If I am allowed to put a link (link...geddit?) here let me know.

    Cooksons used to sell them, cos I was buying them for a while, but they stopped stocking them much to my disappointment

    Neodymium magnet

    As found in hard disc drives, BTW - if you ever need a source of cheap, dangerously strong magnets. Note the lower Curie temperature of them versus ferrite magnets - so they'll lose their magnetism at temperatures as low as 310C (depending upon the exact type).

    Oh, and remagnetising them requires some fairly serious kit - you might be able to do it with an MRI scanner, but a) I wouldn't want to run the risk of trying and b) there tends to be a bit of a queue waiting to use them...

    Physics is of no interest to me unless I've got an application to go with the theory...
