A jewelry clasp including at least a first jewelry interfacer and a second jewelry interfacer capable of magnetically coupling together. The magnetic coupling of the first and second jewelry interfacers can be substantially easy to decouple by applying force substantially in a first direction, but substantially difficult to decouple by applying force that is not substantially in the first direction. Accordingly, the jewelry clasp can be capable of being decoupled by a user with substantial ease while remaining substantially difficult to decouple when not desired.

1. A jewelry clasp, comprising: a first jewelry interfacer having a longitudinal axis that extends parallel to a longest edge of the first jewelry interfacer, the first jewelry interfacer including a first jewelry retainer affixed to a male magnetic interfacer, the male magnetic interfacer including a cantilevered male protrusion that extends parallel to the first jewelry retainer, the first jewelry retainer retaining jewelry that extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first jewelry interfacer;a second jewelry interfacer having a longitudinal axis that extends parallel to a longest edge of the second jewelry interfacer, the second jewelry interfacer including a second jewelry retainer affixed to a female magnetic interfacer, the female magnetic interfacer including a female receiving region that extends parallel to the second jewelry retainer, the second jewelry retainer retaining jewelry that extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the second jewelry interfacer;wherein the cantilevered male protrusion of the first jewelry interfacer is capable of being received into the female receiving region of the second jewelry interfacer and the first jewelry interfacer and the second jewelry interfacer magnetically couple to each other such that the cantilevered male protrusion and the female receiving region are substantially parallel to each other and the first and second jewelry retainers retain jewelry that extends substantially perpendicular to the cantilevered male protrusion and the female receiving region,wherein a region of the female magnetic interfacer includes at least one magnet and a region of the cantilevered male protrusion includes at least one magnet. 2. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein when force is applied by jewelry retained in at least one of the first and second jewelry retainers at least some of a retaining force is distributed on the cantilevered male protrusion by a moment and shear stress. 3. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the first jewelry interfacer and the second jewelry interfacer are decoupled with substantial ease by applying a force slightly greater than a magnetic coupling force in a direction that is substantially parallel to the cantilevered male protrusion. 4. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein at least one of a region of the female magnetic interfacer and a region of the cantilevered male protrusion include at least one of a magnet and ferromagnetic material. 5. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the at least one magnet of the cantilevered male protrusion is located substantially near a distal most point of the cantilevered male protrusion. 6. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, where the at least one magnet of the female magnetic interfacer is located at substantially near a deepest point of the female region. 7. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the cantilevered male protrusion and the female magnetic interfacer is at least one of substantially round, square, polygonal, triangular, star shaped, quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, enneagonal, and decagonal. 8. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein a cross-sectional shape of the cantilevered male protrusion and the female magnetic interfacer are square. 9. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the first jewelry retainer, the second jewelry retainer, the male magnetic interfacer, the cantilevered male protrusion, and the female magnetic interfacer are each at least one of a rectangular cuboid, a square cuboid, and a parallelepiped shape. 10. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the cantilevered male protrusion and the female magnetic interfacer are each at least one of a rectangular cuboid, a square cuboid, and a parallelepiped shape. 11. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein when the first jewelry interfacer and the second jewelry interfacer are coupled they form at least one of a rectangular cuboid, a square cuboid, and a parallelepiped shape. 12. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the first jewelry retainer and the second jewelry retainer are designed to retain at least one string of beads. 13. The jewelry clasp of claim 12, wherein the at least one string of beads are retained in a channel. 14. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the male magnetic interfacer and the cantilevered male protrusion are substantially one cantilevered male magnetic interfacer that is affixed to the first jewelry retainer. 15. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first jewelry retainer, the second jewelry retainer, the male magnetic interfacer, the cantilevered male protrusion, and the female magnetic interfacer are at least partially constructed of at least one of gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, pewter, and palladium. 16. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, further comprising at least one interim jewelry interfacer including an interim female magnetic interfacer affixed to an interim male magnetic interfacer such that the interim female magnetic interfacer and the interim male magnetic interfacer are affixed in a position substantially parallel to each other, the interim male magnetic interfacer including an interim cantilevered male protrusion; the interim female magnetic interfacer being capable receiving the cantilevered male protrusion of the first jewelry interfacer such that the interim female magnetic interfacer and the first jewelry interfacer are magnetically coupled; the interim cantilevered male protrusion being capable of being inserted into the female magnetic interfacer of the second jewelry interfacer such that the interim cantilevered male protrusion and the second jewelry interfacer are magnetically coupled. 17. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the jewelry retained by the first and second jewelry retainers extends at a non-zero angle substantially perpendicular to the cantilevered male protrusion and the female receiving region. 18. The jewelry clasp of claim 1, wherein the first jewelry retainer and the male magnetic interfacer are affixed in a position substantially parallel to each other and the second jewelry retainer and the female magnetic interfacer are affixed in a position substantially parallel to each other. 19.
