Jump Rings From
Dragon's Lair Beads
Jump Rings are a vital part in the assembly of most jewelry projects. They are used between the clasp and the loop at the end of the strung beads. By putting a ring in place here you give more flexibility when putting on the clasp and thus take the strain of the wire - less breakage.
You can also make beautiful jewelry with just jump rings. Kings Chain and European Chain Maille are both
classes
that we run. These old techniques are just as popular today as they were centuries ago and can be made not only in Sterling Silver but also colored rings.

Kings Chain Bracelet
Jump Rings are made of a variety of metals. In the past they were made of wrought Iron often riveted together. The 4-to-1 pattern(each ring is linked to 4 others) was very popular until around the 14 century.
4 in 1 Chain Maille
Now jump rings are made of many types of materials. They come with twisted patterns and are made with square wire as well as round.
Jump rings can be solid rings or have a cut in them that can be opened to attach items together and then tightly closed up. A perfectly closed ring has no light showing through the crack and is still round. We sell the cut rings.
