Magnetic clasp assembly:
Separate the two pieces of the clasp, paying attention to prong and hole at join. Make sure you attach the clasps on the opposite ends of the choker with the opposite piece of the join facing the top. If the left side joined clasp has the prong on the top, make sure the right side joined clasp has the prong on the bottom. Sew to join with fine needle to be able to fit through the holes of the clasp. Or, use a small steel crochet hook (1.0mm) to slst through the holes and secure onto the choker.

Weave in loose ends.
