JewelrySupply Open Jump Ring 4.5mm 14 Karat Solid Yellow Gold

Our 14 Karat Solid Gold Jump Rings are "open", so that they can be slipped onto Rings, Loops, or Chain Ends, then soldered closed. Once soldered, Jump Rings are extremely secure, making them ideal for connecting Clasps and Pendants. Size: 4.5mm Wire diameter: 20 gauge How to Open and Close a Jump Ring - Step 1: Twist Open the Jump Ring - Hold the jump ring securely on opposite sides, then twist one side forward and one side backward. This creates a lateral opening while maintaining the circular shape of the ring. - Step 2: Maintain the Ring's Shape- Never pull the jump ring ends directly apart from each other. This stretches the metal and distorts the ring's shape, making it difficult or impossible to restore its original circular form.Step 3: Close the Jump Ring After attaching your item to the jump ring, use the same twisting technique in reverse. Hold the ring securely and twist the ends back into alignment. The ring should close seamlessly with no gap.
