What You Can Make
Use these open jump rings to assemble charm bracelets, connect lobster clasps and toggle clasps, build chainmaille links, attach pendants to necklaces, and create earring drops. They work with all standard jewelry pliers — no special tools required.
How to Use Jump Rings
Hold the jump ring with two pairs of flat-nose or chain-nose pliers. Twist one side of the ring forward and the other backward to open — never pull apart sideways, as this weakens the wire. Attach your component, then reverse the motion to close. For a secure finish, ensure the ends meet flush with no gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge wire are these jump rings?
These are standard gauge open jump rings suited for most DIY jewelry applications. They are not designed for chainmaille weaves requiring specific AWG gauges — if you need a specific gauge, please reach out before ordering.
Are these rings soldered or open?
These are open (unsoldered) jump rings, designed to be opened and closed with pliers. They are not suitable for applications requiring a fully closed or soldered ring.
Will the plating wear off?
All plated finishes (14k Gold, 18k Gold, Rhodium, Silver) are base metal with a plated coating. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, or body oils to extend the finish life. Bronze is unplated and will develop a natural patina over time.
How many jump rings do I get?
Each listing is sold per pack. Quantity per pack varies by size — check the variant listing for the count included.
Can I use these for chainmaille?
These jump rings work well for basic chainmaille patterns. For complex weaves with specific aspect ratio requirements, we recommend verifying the inner diameter and wire gauge match your pattern specs.
