Claim 9:
10. A jewelry clasp for securing a first end of an elongated member of a bracelet or a necklace to a second end of the elongated member, the jewelry clasp comprising:
a clasp shell enclosing a spacing, the clasp shell having a first opening for slidably receiving the first end of the elongated member for releasably securing the first end to the second end of the elongated member;
a spring-biased push button slidably received in the spacing through a second opening of the clasp shell, the button being slidable between a releasing state and a locking state so that the button can be pushed into the releasing state when a push force against a spring force is applied to the button, the button returning to the locking state by means of the spring force when the push force is released, wherein:
the push button has a hole for receiving the first end of the elongated member when the first end is received through the first opening of the clasp shell;
the push button has a top part being positioned at least partly in the second opening in the locking state, and a bottom part positioned oppositely from top part, the bottom part and the top part being connected by one or more legs; and
the push button has a stopper for engaging and locking the first end of the elongated member to the clasp when the first end is positioned in the hole and the push button is in the locking state, the stopper releasing the first end of the elongated member when the push button is in the releasing state;

a magnet exerting a magnetic force which, when the first end of the elongated member includes a material magnetically attractable by the magnet, acts to pull said first end of the elongated member through the first opening and into the hole of the button when said first end is positioned in said first opening; and
a button support surface fixed to the clasp shell, the button support surface being positioned below the top part of the push button, so that a bottom surface of the top part abuts the button support surface when the push button is in the releasing state.
