Jump rings are metal circles that you can open or close by using pliers. They are a very popular connector to use in jewelry making. Using these rings, you can form your own chain link jewelry, hanging jewelry or connect several different chains together.

Jump rings come in all different kinds of materials including silver, brass, base metal, silver plated, and coated colored. They also come in various different sizes ranging from2mmto10mmand above. As they are available in many different sizes and colors, they can help you to create different style jewelries. When you begin jewelry making, you many not have a need for jump rings as you might well be making “string” jewelry with leather thong that just knots together, but as you progress on your jewelry making journey, you will need to have them in your arsenal of materials. These rings give a professional finish to your pieces, finishing them off nicely, and you can use them to make complete pieces of jewelry with a method called chain maille. They also hold your jewelry together, preventing it from falling apart.
