The Beadsmith Basic Elements Open Jump Rings – 4mm, Gold Plated, 0.61mm (22 Gauge) Wire Thickness, 50 Pieces – Findings for Making Keychains, Charms, Chain Mail and Body Jewelry

The Beadsmith’s Basic Elements line is a collection of essential jewelry making findings and components, such as bails, lever backs, wire protectors and jump rings, curated specifically for jewelry designers and DIY creators. Jump rings are essential to jewelry making, allowing you to connect different components, such as clasps, pendants or earrings, to your jewelry pieces. Our jump rings are consistent loops of brass with a narrow opening. This allows the finding to be opened with pliers to add other items such as charms, keys and jewelry for body art.

The jump rings come in several sizes, ranging from 4mm to 8mm and in either a vibrant gold or brilliant silver plating. These are bulk packs of findings, which are great for designers. Our jump rings are very easy to use. Grip your jump ring in two pairs of flat nose pliers, one either side of the cut in the loop. Gently twist the two sides in opposite directions, until they are opened just enough to slide on your embellishments. Close the jump ring by carefully twisting each side back together. Take care not to pull too hard or repeatedly twist the rings open and close. This will weaken the metal and compromise its strength.

The Beadsmith jump rings are great for making unique jewelry for friends or family. Design wearable art that can be gifted for special occasions such as a birthday or holiday. These high-quality basics are great for daily inspiration or whenever the creative mood strikes.
