Gold Jump Rings | 8mm | 20g - Jewellery Making

Finish the piece properly rather than knotting it and hoping. This is the Gold Jump Rings version. These are open metal rings that twist apart sideways and close again, the piece that links everything else together. The pack is 20g, each about 8mm.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Linking charms, clasps and pendants
• Joining chain sections
• Building earring and bracelet drops
• Keyring and bag charm assembly

Compatibility

Works with: chain, beading cord, elastic, jump rings and other findings in the same finish.

Pairs well with: jewellery pliers, since opening a ring by pulling the ends apart distorts it.

Not suitable for: heavy loads, since these are craft weight findings, and long wear in water, which dulls a plated finish.

How to Use

1. Hold the ring either side of the join with two pliers.
2. Twist one side towards you and the other away, so the ring opens sideways.
3. Slip the parts on, then twist back until the ends meet flush.
4. Pinch the join closed so nothing slides out.

Before You Buy

• This pack is sold by weight, not by count, so the number of pieces varies from pack to pack.
• Gold is the plating tone, not solid precious metal, and the finish can dull with wear.
• Finishes vary slightly between suppliers, so mix and match within one order if the tones must agree.
• We state no nickel free, skin safe or hypoallergenic rating for these, so test against skin before long wear.
