I bought these to attach charms to a charm bracelet. I figured they would be more secure than using jump rings. I was right. They're small enough that it's hard to work with them and get them attached to the bracelet and then attach the charms to them, but the extra security is very much worth the effort for expensive sterling silver charms. I think these would also work great for attaching delicate pendants to a chain or string of beads.
My suggestions for using this product? Don't put them to use the day after you trim you fingernails, because slightly long fingernails really help in opening them enough for the charms and bracelet links (or whatever else you're using them for) to go on to them. Work with them on a dark background in a well lit area (e.g. a piece of dark colored cloth underneath a lamp) so you can see them well. And don't get frustrated if it takes you a while to get the hang of using them. Took me a while but now I'm confident in my use of them. And if someone with fat, clumsy fingers like me can learn to use them, anyone can.
