Jump rings are rings used to make chains, jewelry and chain maille. They are usually made from metal, such as Iron, Brass, Aluminum, Stainless Steel and alloy. Those rings can be assembled one by one into chains, earrings, objects such as bowls or ornaments, and chain mail clothing.

When purchasing jump rings, it is important to note how they are measured, as everyone does it differently. Some places measure the inner diameter of the rings, others use the outer diameter. Some prefer inches, some are metric and other combine both systems. Adding to the confusion, wire gauges are not consistent across metal types. The gauge refers to how thick the wire is.
