Magnetism is a fundamental force of nature, and it’s understood as a physical phenomenon through which certain magnetic materials exert an effort of attraction or repulsion on other elements. It has different applications in various branches of industry and trade.
The theory of magnetism arises in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, through research of electricity. Hans Oersted was the first scientist to write about the relationship of both, followed by physicists Andre Marie Ampere and Dominique François. However, it was James Clerk who assumed the existence of electromagnetic waves and how they represented a manifestation of magnetism through light.
Nickel, iron, and cobalt, as well as their various alloys represent some of the material with great magnetic properties, therefore, they are employed in specific devices to exert magnetic power over other metals, being known as magnets.
Scientifically it has been proven that any material can be more or less influenced by magnetic materials, which has resulted in its implementation in various branches of industry and commerce, such as the manufacture of electrical appliances, such as speakers, buzzers, moving large pieces, and separation of different metals by magnetic levitation.
In recent years, magnetism has resulted in more than just an industrial and technological revolution; it has also included an area to exploit in terms of jewelry design. Magnetic jewelry has been considered a trend that brings elegance and status to appearance in a fun way.
However, there are some recommendations to consider when using magnetic jewelry. First, there are people who have different reactions to the presence of certain metals, such as is nickel. Allergies resulting from the use of certain jewelry are very common. This is due to the inappropriate choice of the item, which can end up causing alterations in the skin, or irritation caused by the metal the jewel was made of.
As previously mentioned, nickel is an essential metal in magnetism, however, it is recommended to choose jewelry with a chrome plating treatment, in order to avoid the possible allergies.
However, only a limited use of magnetic jewelry is recommended. Do not use them daily, or for a long time. Only use them in those special moments you want to stand out from the crowd. This doesn’t mean you should ignore them, because according to the fashion trends for the end of 2016, magnetic jewelry will be a must-have, and one of the best applications for magnetism.
So many uses, magnetism is wonderful, what about neodynium jewelry, is that possible?
