Whether you are a seasoned jeweler or a beginner exploring the art of crafting, jump rings are an essential tool.

• Sold in packs of 8
• The wire used to make these jump rings is 18g (1mm) thick
• The inner diameter of each jump ring is 4.5mm

How to use a jump ring:

• Hold the jump ring with your fingers or pliers and gently twist, moving one side away from you. Be sure to bend the ring only as much as necessary. The shape of the ring can be permanently distorted if the ends of the ring are pulled apart.
• Once in place, twist the jump ring back to slide the ends next to each other. For a secure fit, twist the ring slightly past the original position and then back again. This lets the natural spring of the metal realign the ends tightly.

These pieces are not body jewelry, and should not be worn directly in your piercings! Jumps rings are designed to connect findings, charms and other jewelry-making components.
