Do you have trouble fastening your bracelets?
With a toggle clasp, sometimes it just takes a bit of practice. But with lobster or spring rings, there are times when I personally feel like I need to stand on my head to put on a simple bracelet in the morning!!
Since I usually get ready for work (and put on my jewelry) way before anyone else in my household wakes up, having one of my family members help me is pretty much out. And the dog, who is generally awake at that hour if I tell him it’s “time to go out!” has the unfortunate handicap of no opposable thumbs, so he’s pretty useless as well.
Enter the Happy Hooker, the Substitute Spouse, the Bracelet Buddy. Whateve you call them, these little gadgets are THE BEST for putting on difficult jewelry – simply grab the ring end of the clasp with the alligator clip, hold the handle steady in the hand of the wrist you are putting the jewelry on, and VOILA! you are clasped in seconds. Yes, it does take a bit of practice, but it’s way better than standing on my head at 5:00 a.m.
