Basic Jewellery Making Techniques
Opening and Closing Open Jump Rings.
Open Jump Rings are small rings that can be opened and closed to attach other elements to your jewellery piece. For example to add a charm to a bracelet.
 | ||||||||
| Using two pairs of pliers the jump ring is held in one set |
 |
| The wire opening pushed away with the other set. |
 |
| To close the procedure is reversed. |
 |
| Jump Rings should never be pulled apart to open as this can distort and weaken the ring. |
