Default How do I remagnetize magnetic sterling silver jewelry clasps?

a way to re-magnetize it?

It probaly can't be easily magnetized to be much stronger than it is
already, unless you feel for sure that it was once stronger and has
really been been demagnetized.

Better to replace the magnet with a high energy type. If you pick an
appropriate size you can probably mount it with epoxy.

Try looking at what this company has, there's some very samll ones on
their website, and they are amazingly strong, psarticularly if you use a
pair of them pulling on each other.
