In 2019, after years of dealing with the frustration of necklace clasps spinning to the front, I finally decided to do something about it. Like many jewelry lovers, I loved wearing necklaces, but I was constantly irritated by the clasp twisting around to the front. It was a small thing, but it completely ruined the look of my outfit and made wearing necklaces more of a hassle than a joy.

I tried everything I could think of—heavy necklace weights, fixed pendant styles, counterweights—yet nothing worked. I realized this was a problem I had to solve for myself and for all the other necklace wearers out there who shared this same frustration.

That’s when the idea for NecklaceStay came to life. I wanted to create something that would keep necklace clasps anchored in place so they wouldn’t spin around. I envisioned a discreet solution that would not only work but also add style to the necklace-wearing experience.

After three years navigating the patent process, I was thrilled to receive a U.S. utility patent in 2022. I then spent the next two years perfecting NecklaceStay—refining the design, sourcing the best rare-earth magnets, and ensuring the product was strong, durable, yet lightweight and stylish.

By late 2024, I reached a huge milestone: receiving my first inventory and preparing for the launch of NecklaceStay. It wasn’t just about creating a product—it was about solving a real problem in a practical, stylish way and giving people the confidence to wear their necklaces without worrying about them shifting out of place.

Now, as I prepare to debut NecklaceStay at NY NOW, I’m excited to share this innovative add-on accessory with retailers who sell necklaces. NecklaceStay is more than just a product—it’s a meaningful solution that enhances the customer experience, helping necklaces stay neat and stylish all day long. For retailers, it’s the perfect complement to any necklace sale, offering value and utility to their customers.
